Jal Jeevan Mission plays an important role for _______. Choose the correct answer among the following. (i) Women empowerment (ii) Water supply maintenance (iii) Providing adequate tap water connection
(i), (ii) and (iii)
Jal Jeevan Mission, launched in 2019 under the Ministry of Jal Shakti, aims to provide every rural household with a functional household tap connection supplying adequate safe water (55 litres per person per day).
It stresses community ownership: Village Water and Sanitation Committees (Pani Samitis) plan and maintain the supply schemes, with at least 50% women members, and women are trained to test water quality with field test kits.
By cutting the time women spend fetching water and giving them a role in managing the system, it also empowers women, so all three roles hold.
Hence, (i), (ii) and (iii).
