<br/><br/> The Jal Jeevan Mission, launched in August 2019, aims to provide in-house piped water to all rural households. It claims that about 77% of rural households have piped water connections, up from 17% at the beginning of the scheme. However, comparisons with the National Family Health Survey data reveal discrepancies at both the district and state levels. More ground-level information is required to evaluate the success of the scheme.-Reproduced <br/><br/>https://www.epw.in/journal/2026/7/insight/piped-water-policy-rural-india.html<br/>
