Answer : d
Explanation
Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) envisages supply of 55 litres of water per person
per day to every rural household through Functional Household Tap Connections
(FHTC) by 2024.
JJM focuses on integrated demand and supply-side management of water at the local level.
Creation of local infrastructure for source sustainability measures as mandatory
elements, like rainwater harvesting, groundwater recharge and management of household wastewater for reuse, would be undertaken in convergence with other government programmes/schemes.
The Mission is based on a community approach to water and includes extensive Information, Education and Communication as a key component of the mission.
The fund sharing pattern between the Centre and states is 90:10 for Himalayan
and North-Eastern States, 50:50 for other states, and 100% for Union Territories.
