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 https://www.epw.in/journal/2026/7/insight/piped-water-policy-rural-india.html Economic & Political Weekly AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 408318 IIPA IIPA 2026-04-27 61(7), Feb 14, 2026: p.32-36.
