briefing note on Jal Jeevan Mission - 2019

About Dataset

JJM Note provides an overview of the transition from the Accelerated Rural Water Supply Programme and the National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) to Jal Jeevan Mission. It explains that JJM was designed to provide a Functional Household Tap Connection (FHTC) to every rural household under the “Har Ghar Nal Se Jal” objective. The note describes the key works supported under JJM: in-village piped water-supply infrastructure, development and augmentation of drinking-water sources, multi-village water-transfer schemes, treatment technologies for quality-affected water, retrofitting of existing piped-water schemes, greywater management, and capacity building. It specifies the service-delivery benchmark of 55 litres per capita per day (lpcd) through functional household tap connections. It also outlines the Mission’s institutional mechanism at national, state, district, and Gram Panchayat levels, involving the National Jal Jeevan Mission, State Water and Sanitation Missions, District Water and Sanitation Missions, and Paani Samitis/VWSCs/User Groups. The table on page 2 presents the funding pattern and revised allocation criteria, including a 20% weightage for remaining household connections and 10% weightage for rural population affected by water-quality issues. The note further covers community contribution, decentralised planning, source sustainability measures, geo-tagging of assets, Aadhaar linkage of tap connections subject to statutory provisions, third-party inspections, functionality assessment, and the Rashtriya Jal Jeevan Kosh for voluntary contributions.
