Chandigarh, April 30 – Haryana Chief Minister, Mr. Manohar Lal launched Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) Dashboard for the General Public which is available on the website of Public Health Engineering Department at https://phedharyana.gov.in/PHED-Dashboard/Index.html. The dashboard will be used by the Chief Minister, Ministers, MLAs and elected representatives for reviewing and monitoring of Jal Jeevan Mission.
While launching this website late last evening, the Chief Minister said that in order to monitor the progress under Jal Jeevan Mission various online dashboards suitable for department officials, Deputy Commissioners and General Public have been developed. It will be very useful as Haryana has fixed the target to achieve the objectives of JJM by year 2022 i.e. much ahead of the National Target of the year 2024, he added.
It is noteworthy that the dashboard depicts performance under Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), namely total number of Households in which survey completed; total Households in which Functional Household Tap Connection (FHTC) provided until now; target FHTC to be provided in year 2020-21; district-wise, block-wise, constituency-wise, Gram Panchayat and Habitation-wise status of Households, FHTC provided until now, balance FHTC; district-wise, constituency-wise, Gram Panchayat and Habitation-wise ranking on the basis of the percentage coverage or pendency of FHTC; detail report of Habitation with current status of pending FHTC, status of ongoing works, category and target completion date of work under JJM, list of existing drinking water sources, List of member of VWSC (Village Water and Sewerage Committee) etc.
On August 15, 2019 Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi announced the new scheme of Jal Jeevan Mission with the aim of providing one Functional Household Tap Connection (FHTC) to all the rural households by 2024. After completion of works under Jal Jeevan Mission all the households will be covered with FHTC, which means that citizens will be ensured with 55 Litres Per Capita Day (LPCD) water supply meeting prescribed quality as per IS 10500:2012 Standards. Haryana is contemplating to achieving this goal by the year 2022 i.e. much ahead of the National target date.
For ensuring timely completion of the scheme, realistic and pragmatic milestones have been identified and formulated, and all PHE officials have been directed to comply with stipulated timelines which have been broadly divided in two phases. In the first phase, the existing non-regular water connections will be regularized after completing the household survey and as on date 8.09 Lakh connections have been regularized. In second phase, the works will be undertaken in habitations which have been divided in three categories. Category I includes such villages where there is no problem of water source, Category II encompasses those villages which experience water problem in summers and Category III covers such villages which have perennial source water problems. The timelines for completion of works are September 30, 2020, June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2022 in category I, II and III respectively.
Simultaneously, a systematic household survey is being carried out by PHED with the help from Saksham Yuva to bring out an accurate, comprehensive and reliable survey report which would provide a platform for accessing the number of households in which FHTC is to be provided under JJM. Out of approximately 29.90 lakh rural households, as many as 28.75 Lakh households have been surveyed till date and the remaining households are likely to be surveyed by next week.
