The success of the Jal Jeevan Mission will benefit all sections of society,” PM Modi tweeted while replying to Union Jal Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat’s tweet on the achievement.

“Since launch of #JalJeevanMission on 15th Aug 2019, so far more than 3.77 Crore households are provided with tap water connections. Now, more than 7 Crore rural families (36.5%) have started getting clean water in their homes,” Shekhawat tweeted earlier today.
