In a landmark achievement for Rajasthan’s water supply initiatives, Mandal Block in Bhilwara has become the first block in the state to reach 100% household water coverage under the Jal Jeevan Mission. This milestone marks a significant success in Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma’s vision of providing every rural household with safe and potable water through tap connections.

Under his leadership, Bhilwara has made remarkable strides in ensuring that every one of the 29,524 homes in Mandal Block now has access to clean drinking water via functional household tap connections.
The Jal Jeevan Mission, a flagship program of the central government, aims to improve water supply infrastructure in rural areas across India. The initiative focuses on providing sustainable and safe drinking water to every rural household through the installation of tap water connections. The achievement in Mandal Block not only underscores the efficacy of the program but also serves as a model for other districts in Rajasthan and across the country.
