"11 crore tap connections! The vision of our PM Narendra Modi ji, the relentless pursuit of the goals set out for Jal Jeevan Mission by the ministry and the effort of our team on ground has made this mega milestone possible," Shekhawat tweeted.
"11 crore homes are now assured of health and well-being with this elixir of life reaching their doorsteps," he added.
In response to the tweet by the Jal Shakti Minister, the Prime Minister tweeted, “A great feat, indicative of the ground covered to ensure ‘Har Ghar Jal’ to the people of India. Congratulations to all those who have benefitted from this initiative and compliments to those working on the ground to make this Mission a success".

The JJM is being implemented by the Centre in partnership with states.
At the time of announcement of Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), 3.23 crore (17 per cent) households were reported to have tap water connections.
