The Union Finance Minister has introduced a new program in Budget 2019 called Jal Jeevan Mission.
It aims to supply piped water supply to all rural households by 2024.
This Mission, under the Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation, will focus on integrated demand and supply-side management of water at the local level.
It aims to create local infrastructure like rainwater harvesting, groundwater recharge and management of household wastewater for reuse in agriculture.
