Itanagar, Mar 5: In the Central government programme, Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), Arunachal Pradesh has become the first state in the Northeast to achieve hundred percent implementation. Arunachal Pradesh has become the first state in the North East to achieve this remarkable feat and is the 10th in the country.

Arunachal Pradesh chief minister Pema Khandu congratulated the state Department of Public Health Engineering (PHED) on achieving the milestone of hundred percent saturation in implementation of Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) programme launched by the central government in 2019.

“Considering the vast geographical area, difficult terrains and sparsely populated remote villages, this is a no mean feat,” Khandu said.

When JJM was launched by the Prime Minister in 2019, Khandu revealed that only 20989 households in the state had Functional Household Tap Connection (FHTC) and today, after successful execution of the mission, 2.9 lakh households have FHTC.

Khandu said that implementing the AJSY along with JJM resulted in a hundred percent potable tap water connection to each household.
