Jammu, Feb 18: Kulgam’s Lanker Pombay village, has received tap water connections within premises for the first time marking a significant stride in improving access to clean water in the rural households through “Jal Jeevan Mission. Many far flung and hilly areas are getting tap water supply for the first time in history under JJM.

The latest example of this achievement under the mission is Lanker Pombay village of Panchayat Khaloora in Kulgam district, comprising about 80 households. This habitation was not having any sustainable water supply scheme and inhabitants were finding it very hard to meet their water needs. The locals would mainly depend on hand pumps and water tankers supplied by the department, for meeting their daily domestic water needs on bare minimum basis.

With the launch of Jal Jeevan Mission, a water supply scheme with dug-well as source worth Rs. 187.68 lakh, was conceived for this habitation for providing potable water supplies as per prescribed standards. The land for construction of 0.60 Lakh Gallons RCC SR was provided by the villagers unhindered. The people centric and inclusive approach adopted in conceiving this water supply scheme rekindled their hope and the public reposed faith in the department for having a sustainable water supply system.

Now, this scheme with a rising main length of 2000 m, distribution pipe network of about 6000 m and Reinforced Cement Concrete Service Reservoir, stands completed and the water supply through household level tap connections is being provided to this habitation.

Jal Jeevan Mission aims to provide every rural household with a Functional Household Tap Connection (FHTC) within their premises, capable of delivering a minimum of 55 liters of water per capita per day while adhering to set quality standards. More than 3200 water supply schemes have been taken up across the UT at an estimated cost of about Rs. 13000 crore, against which Rs. 7000 crore (approx.) have been expended, so far, with completion of about 1400 schemes and the remaining schemes being at advanced stages of completion.
