Safe Drinking Water
Drinking Water Tube Wells Under SWAJALDHARA Scheme
BISWA with the help of Mrs. Joyasree Mahanti with the help of BISWA installed more then 45 drinking water tube wells (4 are supported by our friends from U.S.) and the rest are installed by the government (Central Government’s Rural Water Supply – Swajaladhara scheme) with 10% contribution by her on behalf of the villagers with the condition that the villagers would pay back the money after installation of the tube wells. We have recovered most of the money and have applied for more tube wells for the year 2007. Hopefully, the drinking water problem will be solved in a few years. This is a great contribution on behalf of the Government.
In addition, we have installed four water harvest projects which will provide irrigation water to 700 acres of land. More then Sixteen villages will be benefited by this project.
