Which one of the following statements with reference to Jal Jeevan Mission is not correct?

The Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on August 15, 2019, not in 2016 [3]. It was created by restructuring the pre-existing National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) [8]. The mission is a centrally sponsored scheme implemented in partnership with States, involving a significant central outlay to support infrastructure development [5]. Its primary objective is to provide Functional Household Tap Connections (FHTC) to every rural household, ensuring a supply of at least 55 liters of potable water per person per day [8]. By focusing on safe and adequate drinking water, the mission aims to improve the quality of life and ease of living for people in rural areas, particularly reducing the drudgery faced by women and girls [6].
