Under Water Life Mission (JJM), every rural household has to provide water tap connection (FHTC) by 2024. Under this scheme, clean drinking water will be provided to every household in the villages. Automatic data collection and analysis will be done to monitor this scheme and provide better quality service. Digitalizing the entire water supply system will completely eliminate many problems.
Through the ICT Grand Challenge, the government is trying to develop smart water supply systems in the villages. This system will initially be implemented in 100 villages of the country under the Water Life Mission project. Depending on the result obtained from it, it can also be applied in villages.
