Finance Minister during her budget speech 2025-26 has announced extension of Jal Jeevan Mission until ______.
2028
The Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), launched in August 2019 under the Ministry of Jal Shakti, aims to provide a Functional Household Tap Connection (FHTC) to every rural household, delivering potable water at 55 litres per person per day.
The mission originally set 2024 as its target year for achieving 100% coverage of piped water supply to rural homes.
Because a share of rural households remained uncovered by that deadline, the government decided to continue the scheme rather than close it.
In the Union Budget 2025-26, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced an extension of the Jal Jeevan Mission until 2028, along with an enhanced total outlay to complete the remaining connections.
The extension is meant to ensure universal coverage with a focus on the quality and long-term sustainability of the infrastructure created.
The other years are incorrect: 2034 and 2035 are far beyond the announced timeline, and 2029 does not match the budget statement, which specifically set the new deadline at 2028.
Hence the Jal Jeevan Mission was extended until 2028.
