For each Kerala district and block, and for the state, the number of habitations, households and functional household tap connections (FHTC) under the Jal Jeevan Mission, grouped by how much of the habitation has a tap connection (none, under a quarter, a quarter to half, half to three quarters, three quarters to full, and fully covered). A seventh band holds habitations without any piped water scheme. Counts are shown for each financial year the portal offers, so coverage can be followed over time. Use it to find blocks where many households still lack a tap connection and to compare districts.
