Watch: Assamese Woman Prays In Gratitude As She Gets Tap Water In Her Home Under Jal Jeevan Mission
Tap water reaches two far-flung villages in the North East.
In a video tweeted by Union Minister of Jal Shakti Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, a woman from Assam is seen doing prayer to welcome the tap water.
Jal Jeevan Mission is envisioned to provide safe and adequate drinking water to all households in rural India by 2024 through individual household tap connections.
While India has around 19 crore households, just 3.2 crore households have got piped water connection as of August 2019. With Jal Jeevan Mission - Har Ghar Jal, the number of households with tap water connections is now almost doubled to 6.3 crore.
Netizens have opined that the Narendra Modi government successfully ensuring piped water to millions of households may give rise to another Modi wave in 2024 general elections.
