Jal Jeevan Mission Extension till 2028 with Enhanced Budget of ₹67,000 Crore MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers

The Ministry of Jal Shakti implements the Jal Jeevan Mission. The mission serves rural households by providing potable tap water connections; its extension until 2028 was announced in the Union Budget 2025-26.

Three statements are correct. Statements 1, 2 and 3 accurately give the mission's rural tap-water goal, its extension until 2028 and the separate agreement framework. Statement 4 is false because the implementing ministry is the Ministry of Jal Shakti.

The remaining target was 4.33 crore rural households by 2028. This is distinct from the 15 crore households, representing about 80% of rural India, that had already benefited since the mission began in 2019.

Option D is incorrect because the mission targets all rural households across India, not only households in water-stressed districts. The other options accurately state its objective, coverage and State or Union Territory agreement framework.

Both statements are correct. The mission was extended until 2028, and its focus was expressly placed on infrastructure quality and operation and maintenance of rural piped water supply through citizen participation.
