Jal Jeevan Mission state-wise coverage: tap water in rural homes

How far has Jal Jeevan Mission reached in your State? The national totals and the table of all 34 States and UTs come from the JJM Dashboard, which is updated by each State and Union Territory. They were read on 12 November 2026 and cover all 34 States and UTs listed on the dashboard.

Look up one State in the coverage search, or scan the table of all 34.

How to read these figures

• Rural homes is the total number of rural households the State has entered on the mission’s management information system (IMIS). It can change when a State reconciles its village directory. The dashboard notes, for example, that totals were reduced after reconciliation in Uttar Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh.
• With tap is the number of those households reported as having a tap water connection on 12 November 2026.
• Coverage is “with tap” as a percentage of “rural homes”.
• Har Ghar Jal reported villages are those where the State water department has confirmed that every home, school and anganwadi has tap water. Certified villages are those where the Gram Sabha has also passed a resolution confirming it.

These are figures for rural households only. Delhi and Chandigarh do not appear on the rural dashboard, and cities are covered by separate urban water programmes.

National totals

Source: JJM Dashboard; totals are the sum of the 34 States/UTs shown.

For comparison, official releases reported 81.61% coverage at the time of the Cabinet decision in March 2026 and 81.87% by May 2026. The steady climb is real but slow: the remaining homes are concentrated in a handful of large States where sources are scarce or contaminated.

State coverage lookup

Type the name of a State or UT to see its rural tap coverage, the number of homes still to connect, and its Har Ghar Jal status. The search understands old names such as Orissa, Pondicherry, Uttaranchal and Madras, common misspellings such as Chattisgarh or Telengana, short forms such as UP, MP and J&K, and major city names such as Bombay or Calcutta, for which it shows that State’s rural figures. Delhi and Chandigarh are not on the rural list, and the lookup says so.

To find out whether your own home is on the village list, ask your Pani Samiti or Gram Panchayat. Household connections are recorded village by village by the State water department.

All 34 States and UTs

States and UTs at 100%

On 12 November 2026, eleven States and UTs reported tap water in every rural home:

• Andaman & Nicobar Islands
• Arunachal Pradesh
• Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu
• Goa
• Gujarat
• Haryana

• Mizoram
• Puducherry
• Punjab
• Telangana

Several more were close: Ladakh (98.53%), Uttarakhand (98.12%), Nagaland (97.04%) and Bihar (95.71%).

Where the largest gaps remain

Some States with high percentages still have many homes left, simply because they are large. Others have low percentages. These ten States account for most of the homes still waiting:

West Bengal alone had more than 75 lakh rural homes still to connect. Rajasthan, much of which is desert or drought-prone, had nearly 44 lakh. Kerala and Jharkhand were both near 56% coverage. Uttar Pradesh, with the largest number of rural homes in the country, was at 92.49% but still had about 20 lakh homes left.

Har Ghar Jal reported and certified status

A whole State or UT can be declared Har Ghar Jal once every village in it qualifies. On 12 November 2026:

The same 7 certified and 4 reported States/UTs are shown in the JJM 2.0 Operational Guidelines. The village-level counts are in the table of reported and certified villages.

Notice that a State can report every home connected and still have fewer villages certified. Certification needs a Gram Sabha resolution in each village, and under JJM 2.0 it also requires confirmation that operation and maintenance arrangements are in place. See Har Ghar Jal certification.

Why numbers differ between sources

You may see slightly different figures in news reports, PIB releases and the live dashboard. Common reasons:

• Different dates. The dashboard changes every day as States enter new connections. A PIB release of 9 March 2026 quotes rural tap coverage as on 3 March 2026.
• Different totals. The total number of rural households is revised when States reconcile village directories. Official releases have used both 19.36 crore and 19.35 crore.
• Rounding. Releases often round to two decimals in crore, such as “15.84 crore”.
• Connections versus functionality. The dashboard counts connections reported by States. Independent functionality assessments check a sample of homes for water quantity, quality and regularity, and give a lower figure. In the 2024 assessment, 76% of connections were fully functional.

When accuracy matters, quote the date with the number, and check the live dashboard.

Where to see live district and village figures

The official dashboard lets you drill down from India to a State, a district, and then a block, Panchayat and village. It also has views for tap water in schools and anganwadi centres, water quality, district performance, and a GIS map. The Citizen Corner shows information for a single village, including its published water quality results.

If your village appears as Har Ghar Jal on the dashboard but your home has no tap or no regular water, raise it with your Pani Samiti and the State water department. See Complaints and How to get a tap connection. For the funding and deadline behind these numbers, see Jal Jeevan Mission 2.0.
