   Answer: (1) It was established in the year 2016.

   उत्तर: (1) इसकी स्थापना वर्ष 2016 में की गई थी।

   Jal Jeevan Mission was launched in 2019 (announced on 15 August 2019), not 2016, so statement (a) is the incorrect one. It is a centrally sponsored scheme that aims to give every rural household a functional household tap connection and thereby improve the quality of life in rural areas.
