Jal Jeevan Mission: operational guidelines
The Centre’s most recent flagship scheme - Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) to provide drinking water to 14.6 crore rural households- is set to be operationalized with Prime Minister Modi to release the Operational Guidelines. The new guidelines will emphasise the critical role of the gram panchayat level paani samiti or village committee to run and maintain the water supply system in their community and also bring in systems for water use charges.
