Jal Jeevan Mission (Har Ghar Jal) – Economic Survey 2025-26 MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers

Both statements are correct. The mission began on 15 August 2019 when 3.23 crore rural households, equal to 16.71%, had tap-water access. Its community water-quality effort also trained 24.80 lakh women to use Field Testing Kits across 5.07 lakh villages.

Jal Jeevan Mission focuses on providing safe and adequate drinking water through household tap connections to every rural household, not every urban household. Community participation through village committees and women's training with Field Testing Kits are both genuine features of its rural implementation.

Pairs 1, 2, and 3 are correct: Jal Jeevan Mission was launched on 15 August 2019, is implemented by the Ministry of Jal Shakti, and specifies 55 litres per capita per day. Pair 4 is wrong because 24.80 lakh women were trained; 38.78 lakh denotes samples tested. Thus, three pairs are correct.

A Functional Household Tap Connection under Jal Jeevan Mission is designed to provide potable water at a minimum service level of 55 litres per capita per day. Therefore, option B states both the correct quantity and the correct per-person, per-day unit.

During 2025-26, 2,843 water-testing laboratories were reported to have tested 38.78 lakh water samples. The other options mix these figures with 2,184 institutional laboratories, 24.80 lakh trained women, or 5.07 lakh villages.
