Jal Jeevan Mission 2.0
Jal Jeevan Mission, launched on 15 August 2019 to bring a tap connection to every rural home, now reaches 15.89 crore households - 82.09 percent of rural India, against 16.71 percent when it began. The Cabinet extended it to December 2028 as JJM 2.0 and more than doubled the outlay, pivoting the mission from laying pipes to running a dependable water utility. Two August 2026 moves show what that means in practice: the drinking-water department has asked every State to plan JJM 2.0 and SBM-G 2.0 works together under the VB-G RAM G Act's Gram Panchayat plans, and its tenth Sujal Gram Samvad put village committees that collect their own user charges on the record. The unresolved question is durability: a parliamentary panel has warned that taps can run dry when the source feeding them was never secured.
