National Jal Jeevan Mission

This is a noble initiative to ensure water service delivery in rural homes by addressing various issues that cause disruption in water supply on regular basis.
Digitisation of water supply infrastructure has the potential to help the Gram Panchayats as 'local public utility'. More importantly, it will help anticipate and address future challenges.

Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) focuses on water service delivery at the household level, i.e. supply of 55 lpcd of water of prescribed quality on a regular and long-term basis.
Under the Mission Gram Panchayat or its sub-committee, i.e. Village Water & Sanitation Committee/ Pani Samiti are required to function as a ‘local public utility’ for drinking water management, water service delivery, grey water treatment & reuse, and take care of operation and maintenance of in-village water supply infrastructure for assured drinking water supplyto every rural household on regular and long-term basis.
