Policy implication
This counts household connections reported by the states in the Mission's own system, not water that runs or water that is safe. The Ministry's functionality assessments are separate and not in this table. Kerala's low figure is as reported and the answer does not explain it. Delhi and Chandigarh have no rural population and are grey.
