Maharashtra misses 100% tap water connection target in western zone

Maharashtra has failed to meet the deadline for 100% tap water connection in rural areas under the Jal Jeevan Mission, with only 79.48% coverage achieved. Several states and union territories have already achieved the 100% target. The mission aims to provide safe and adequate drinking water through tap connections to all rural households by 2024. Gujarat has surpassed Maharashtra due to its pre-existing water supply infrastructure and higher fund allocation. Delays in policymaking and the impact of Covid-19 have also affected Maharashtra's progress.
