Addressing the nation from the ramparts of Red Fort on the occasion of 73rd Independence Day, PM Modi said, “The government has decided to strive forward with Jal Jeevan Mission to ensure tap water access to every household. We have resolved to speed more than 3.5 lakh crore for Jal Jeevan Mission." He further said that said that the central and state governments will work together to achieve this goal.

Water conservation has been one of the primary causes of the Modi government. Jal Shakti Ministry, a separate ministry on water was formed in May this year.
Delivering his sixth Independence Day speech from the ramparts of the Red Fort, Prime Minister Narendra Modi touched upon a range of subjects, beginning from the scrapping of Article 370 and triple talaq practices to advocating for population control and encouraging travel. One of the most monumental announcement was the formation of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) - the topmost defence officer of the country - to whom all the three service chiefs will report.
