In August 2022, Goa and Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu became the first 'Har Ghar Jal' certified State and UT respectively with 100% tap-water access.[8]

Objective

The primary goal of the Jal Jeevan Mission is to supply water services to all rural regions in the states where people face water-related issues. Every rural family will have access to pipelines carrying clean, pure water as part of our objective. Every home in an area without water will receive water delivery by pipeline. The government has also called this program the Har Ghar Jal Yojana. The Jal Jeevan Mission's work to provide tap water to the every family has been successful. Water supply for the locals will be carried out under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. The residents of the rural center will have access to work possibilities through this mission, which will also help their financial situation.[9]
