Jal Jeevan Mission Extended Till 31st March 2021

The Ministry of Jal Shakti is overseeing the implementation of the mission at the national level.
Har Ghar Nal Se Jal by 2024.
JJM aims at providing potable water at the service level of 55 litres per capita per day (lpcd) to every rural household through Functional Household Tap Connection (FHTC) by 2024.
The fund sharing between the Centre and states is 90:10 for Himalayan and North-Eastern States, 50:50 for other states, and 100% for Union Territories.
Jal Jeevan Mission adopts a bottom-to-top approach, where the users and Paani Samitis (Water Committees) in the villages envision the whole project from its implementation to maintenance and operation.
The mission has also ensured that at least 50% of the members of the water committee would be women.

Work to be taken up under JJM:

In-village water supply (PWS) infrastructure for tap water connection to every household
Reliable drinking water source development/ augmentation of existing sources
Transfer of water (multi-village scheme; where quantity & quality issues are there in the local water sources)
Technological intervention for treatment to make water potable (where water quality is an issue, but quantity is sufficient)
Retrofitting of completed and ongoing piped water supply schemes to provide FHTC and raise the service level
Grey water management
Capacity building of various stakeholders and support activities to facilitate the implementation

73rd Amendment of the Constitution of India

Gram Panchayats will play a crucial role in planning, designing, executing, operations and maintenance of the in-village infrastructure under the Jal Jeevan Mission – Every village is to prepare a village action plan (VAP) which will essentially have three components namely;

Water source & its maintenance
Water supply and
Grey water management.
