Swachh Jal (Clean Jal) through Har Ghar Jal Yojana
Announced by Hon‟ble Prime Minister on 15th August 2019, Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) is
implemented in partnership with States, to make provision of potable tap water supply to every
rural household and public institutions like Schools, Anganwadi centers, Ashramshalas,
healthcare centers, etc. of the country by 2024. It is envisaged that every household and these
public institutions will have potable water supply in adequate quantity of prescribed quality on
5
a regular and long-term basis. The focus is on service delivery, rather than mere infrastructure
creation. To implement the mission, institutional arrangements at various levels have been
made and State's Public Health Engineering Department (PHED)/ Rural Water Supply (RWS)
Departments play a critical role in the mission. A sense of ownership is to be instilled among
the local village communities as they are at the center of this mission.
To bring transparency and effective monitoring, an online „JJM dashboard‟ has been put in
place, which provides State/ UT, district and village-wise progress as well as information
regarding the provision of tap water supply to rural homes, schools, Anganwadi Centers
(AWCs), Ashramshalas etc. The dashboard can be accessed by typing „JJM dashboard‟ on
browsers/search portals etc.
Two awards will be given for this scheme.
