Jaipur, 5 November (Hindustan Reporter). On the efforts and initiative of Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, to speed up the work of Jal Jeevan Mission in the state, Rs 658.12 crore has been sanctioned for issuing 181 work orders in 507 villages of 46 Panchayat Samitis of 23 districts. This will not only give impetus to the work of Jal Jeevan Mission in the state but will also benefit 1.12 lakh houses in these districts by providing domestic water connections.
Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma said that Jal Jeevan Mission Scheme is an ambitious scheme of the Central Government. But the previous government did not take this scheme seriously, due to which the work could not be completed within the stipulated time period. Now the state government is determined to provide tap water to every home. To give impetus to the scheme, Rs 658.12 crore has been sanctioned. Water Supply Minister Kanhaiya Lal said that 413 of 33 panchayat committees of Ajmer, Balotra, Baran, Bharatpur, Chittorgarh, Deeg, Dholpur, Gangapur City, Hanumangarh, Jaisalmer, Jhalawar, Jodhpur, Karauli, Kekri, Pali, Sawai Madhopur, Sirohi, Sriganganagar and Udaipur. 137 work orders worth Rs 520.28 crore will be issued for villages. These approvals will not only give impetus to the work of Jal Jeevan Mission but will also provide clean drinking water to the people living in the villages of these districts under the scheme, which will realize the dream of water for every house.
The Water Supply Minister said that since the Model Code of Conduct is effective in Alwar, Dungarpur, Jhunjhunu and Salumber of the state, work orders will be issued in these districts after the Model Code of Conduct. It is noteworthy that under the Jal Jeevan Mission Scheme in the state, 46.31 lakh (48 percent) houses have been benefited by establishing domestic water connections.
