Overall I'd say great progress. States like MP and UP were way in the 10-25% range when this started, so its great to see their progress.
MP is disappointing considering pretty much continuous BJP governance for last 15 + yrs.. Really need to step up the game there.
Rajasthan is difficult due to its arid nature but still should be 75% + with the technologies available in the current date
Both these states have incredible potential if they are able to find a leader like NM was for Gujarat, Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case anytime soon
At this point, Kerala is now the most "laggard" state. That is technically correct, since the JJM mission specifically focuses on "installation of tap in household and connecting it to a treated water supply" (i.e. metered municipal water supply). However, it is also somewhat misleading. You will hardly find anyone in rural KL collecting water in buckets or not having a tap at home. Most houses in "rural" KL have household taps connected to a well. This water is still plentiful. There is no meter/no water bill, and most people boil the water for drinking but use it raw for bathing. There are land acquisition issues for the piping works. So, a unique situation.
