The Meghalaya government has shifted its strategy under Jal Jeevan Mission 2.0, moving away from merely installing tap connections to ensuring a dependable water supply for households.
The state of Meghalaya has announced a strategic shift in its implementation of Jal Jeevan Mission 2.0, prioritising reliable water supply over the mere provision of tap connections.
Under the national mission, the objective has been to deliver piped water to every household by 2024. Meghalaya’s new approach focuses on ensuring that the water supplied is consistent and safe, rather than simply connecting households to a tap.
Officials say the change will involve upgrading infrastructure, improving storage facilities, and enhancing water treatment processes to guarantee a steady supply throughout the year.
The move is expected to reduce waterborne diseases, improve household hygiene, and support the state’s broader development goals by providing a more dependable water service to its residents.
