Mandya - Functionality Assessment 2022

Comprehensive functionality assessment report for household tap connections (FHTC) under the National Jal Jeevan Mission (NJJM) in Mandya district of Karnataka, India. The district has a total population of 16,89,494 residents, distributed across 7 administrative blocks comprising 1412 villages. The region receives an average annual rainfall of 715.8 mm, which influences groundwater recharge and water availability patterns. This assessment was conducted during 2022 as part of the Government of India's initiative to evaluate the functionality and sustainability of piped water supply systems across rural India. The report provides a detailed analysis of water supply services covering multiple dimensions including functionality status, water quantity, supply regularity, and water quality parameters. Under the Har Ghar Jal initiative, 91 villages in the district have achieved the milestone of providing functional household tap connections to all residences. Furthermore, 1034 villages have piped water supply schemes serving more than 20 FHTCs, indicating the scale of infrastructure deployment. The methodology employed cross-sectional research design using Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) mode for data collection from sampled villages and households. This comprehensive assessment provides valuable insights for evidence-based decision-making to enhance rural water supply services and achieve the vision of Har Ghar Jal across the nation.
