On 15 August 2019 Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the Jal Jeevan Mission from the Red Fort, a Union programme to provide functional household tap connections in rural India.

Context

The Jal Shakti Ministry implements with states. He owned the announcement. He did not sit as every plumber. Later dashboard numbers are neighbouring later administrative series.

Swachh Bharat is a neighbouring earlier sanitation mission. Ujjwala is a neighbouring earlier household-energy scheme.

The Prime Minister of India is head of the Union Council of Ministers. Parliament writes statutes; the President assents; states and Union ministries implement; the Supreme Court can strike a scheme down. A prime minister can announce demonetisation, drive a bill, and take an oath. He does not write a UNFCCC depositary record, an ISRO telemetry file, or a Supreme Court judgment by himself.

Why it matters

The path is household purchasing power and health: a completed rural tap-water mission announcement is a dated access instrument, with delivery still a multi-year series.

What the sources establish

Prime Minister’s Office of India carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

Established: a 15 August 2019 Independence Day announcement of Jal Jeevan Mission for rural household tap connections.

Not established: that every rural household received a tap that morning, or a unique later diarrhoeal coefficient from the speech.

Jal Shakti and states implement. Local bodies still connect households.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Jal Jeevan Mission is announced from the Red Fort, not a later speech about Jal Jeevan Mission is announced from the Red Fort.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. If a later repeal, stay, or successor decree exists, it needs its own date and its own row. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He announced the mission. Jal Shakti and states implement. Local bodies still connect households. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series. The Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, the President, the Reserve Bank, state governments, the Election Commission, and foreign counterparties share specific files. Allegation is not a completed judgment. A Supreme Court striking-down is not a criminal conviction. A scheme notification is not a unique rupee coefficient. A UN pledge is not a delivered emissions path.
