Jal Jeevan Awards 2022

 Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) is envisioned to provide safe and adequate drinking water through individual household tap connections by 2024 to all households in rural India. The programme will also implement source sustainability measures as mandatory elements, such as recharge and reuse through grey water management, water conservation, rainwater harvesting. 

The Jal Jeevan Mission is based on a community approach to water and will include extensive information, education and communication as key components of the mission. JJM looks to create a jan andolan for water, thereby making it everyone’s priority.

 

In 2023, awards were given to districts and states by assessing functionality and service delivery under JJM (Tables 1 and 2). The districts certified under “Har Ghar Jal” were also announced (Table 3).
