Clean drinking water, sanitation for all rural households in Karnataka

The Hindu  

Karnataka is now on the threshold of giving a total facelift to the quality of life in rural areas and in what is described as the first such attempt in the country, all households in villages will be provided with access to clean drinking water and sanitation within a given timeframe. The Department of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj has finalised a comprehensive scheme for supplying purified drinking water to all villages, given the fact that nearly 60 per cent of diseases afflicting the rural population is waterborne. Though the government spent huge funds, a large section of the rural population still did not have access to pure drinking water or good sanitation, he said. The Department of RDPR is also implementing several other rural water supply schemes, Centrally sponsored Accelerated Rural Water Supply Programme, Sub-Mission Projects for rural habitations with water quality problems under the Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission and Externally Aided Projects with the assistance of World Bank and Danish International Development Agency.
