- Jal Jeevan Mission (2019) targets Functional Household Tap Connections to every rural household. Its urban counterpart is JJM (Urban).
- Other urban missions launched in 2015 alongside AMRUT: the Smart Cities Mission and PMAY-Urban; Swachh Bharat Mission had been launched in 2014.
- Water supply and sanitation are State subjects, so these are centrally sponsored schemes implemented by the states.
