Chief Minister Chandrababu stated that the government is committed to providing safe drinking water to every household in the villages. He mentioned that, under the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), they are working with the objective of supplying drinking water through taps to every home by 2028. He made these remarks on the occasion of signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Central Government regarding the implementation of JJM 2.0.

He revealed that priority is being accorded to the operation and maintenance of rural drinking water supply systems, and that these responsibilities have been entrusted to the Panchayats.
