As Prime Minister Narendra Modi completes 24 years of people-centric leadership, Gujarat has emerged as one of the top-performing states under the Jal Jeevan Mission, fulfilling his vision of “Har Ghar Jal”, water for every household.

According to official data, by 2022, Gujarat achieved 100 per cent household tap water connections, reaching 91.73 lakh rural families across all 33 districts.

Its early success with the Swajaldhara scheme, launched in 2002, was a decentralised, community-managed initiative that laid the foundation for efficient rural water supply systems.
