Answer:
The Central Government assistance to States for rural water supply began in 1972 with the launch of
Accelerated Rural Water Supply Programme. It was renamed as National Rural Drinking Water
Programme (NRDWP) in 2009, which is a centrally sponsored scheme with fund sharing between the
Centre and the States. Under NRDWP, one of the objectives was to “enable all households to have
access to and use safe & adequate drinking water within premises to the extent possible”. It was
proposed to achieve the goal by 2030, coinciding with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development
Goals. But now, it is has been planned to achieve the goal by 2024 through Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM).
As per the information available with DDWS, as on 31.3.2019, only 18.33% of rural households i.e.,
3.27 Crore out of the total 17.87 Crore rural households in the country, have piped water connection.
