Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot highlighted that 44 lakh households are still waiting for tap water connections under the Jal Jeevan Mission.
The Jal Jeevan Mission, launched by the Government of India, aims to provide piped water to every household by 2024. As of now, 44 lakh families across Rajasthan are still pending tap water connections under the scheme.
In a recent statement, former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot expressed concern over the delay, urging the state government to accelerate the rollout of connections. He emphasized that timely implementation is crucial for improving public health and reducing waterborne diseases.
The delay has been attributed to logistical challenges and funding gaps in rural areas. The state administration has pledged to allocate additional resources and streamline the process.
Completion of the mission in Rajasthan is expected to boost rural development, reduce the burden on women and children who traditionally fetch water, and enhance overall quality of life.
