New Delhi/UNI: Kerala is planning to provide about 30 lakh new tap water connections in 2021-22 under Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), the Ministry of Jal Shakti said here on Friday.

Annual Action Plan on planning and implementation of Jal Jeevan Mission in Kerala was presented, wherein Kerala State officials outlined the roadmap of the financial year 2021-2022 to the national committee via video conferencing, the Ministry said in a statement.

Kerala has 67.15 lakh rural households, out of which around 21.55 lakh households have tap water supply.

Although, last year about 4 lakh connections were provided, this fiscal year, the state plans to provide about 30 lakh new connections.

The state has plans to achieve the target of ‘Har Ghar Jal’ by 2024.

The state also plans to provide potable water in all quality-affected habitations by June 2021 through piped water supply or Community Water Purification Plants (CWPP).

The state has been urged to give top priority to cover the households in SC/ ST majority areas and the Aspirational districts.

Jal Jeevan Mission is the flagship programme of the Government of India, which aims to provide household tap water connection to every rural household by 2024.
