Offline The applicant need not apply for the scheme. State Governments/ UT Administration will implement the mission based on the finalized SAP with timelines to cover all the villages of the respective State/ UT. Each village will be assessed on existing water supply infrastructure by DWSM in consultation with Gram Panchayat and/ or its sub-committee and ISA. Based on the same, FHTCs will be provided to every rural household by creating in-village water supply infrastructure including source development under any one of the following suggested categories, viz. Retrofitting of ongoing schemes taken up under erstwhile NRDWP for the last mile connectivity; Retrofitting of completed rural water supply schemes to make it JJM compliant; Single Village Scheme (SVS) in villages having adequate groundwater/ spring water/ local or surface water source of prescribed quality; Single Village Scheme (SVS) in villages having adequate groundwater that needs treatment; Multi Village Scheme (MVS) with water grids/ regional water supply scheme; and Mini solar power-based piped water supply in isolated/ tribal hamlets.

Frequently Asked Questions
In such areas, local innovations/ technological solutions will be explored. Suggestive technological solutions to address challenges in the supply of drinking water are as under: Solar energy based stand-alone water supply systems for scattered/ isolated/ tribal/ hilly villages. Community Water Purification Plant (CWPP) in groundwater contaminated areas. In cold deserts, solutions may be explored to enhance and store run-off water in small tanks - traditional water harvesting structure, i.e. Zings of Ladakh. Further, artificial glacial reservoirs may be created by diverting the run-off to freeze & store as glacier. In hard rock areas, bore-blast technique, fracture seal cementation, stream blasting, etc. may be explored. In hilly areas, adopting spring-based sources, rain water harvesting and standalone bore-well systems (if feasible) will be explored. In coastal areas, energy efficient small desalination plants with high recovery ratio will be explored, along with construction of sub-surface dykes in rivers. Use of Internet of Things (IoT), Geographic Information System (GIS) software, etc., will be required for planning and monitoring.
