“PM @narendramodi ‘s ambitious #JalJeevanMission has provided 3.5 crore (35 million) rural households with tap water connections, 50 lakh (5 million) connections made this year. The initiative has already covered over 35% of rural India, providing 6.76 crore (67.6 million) households with potable water connections,” the Union Minister for Jal Shakti, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat wrote on the microblogging site Twitter on January 17.
