MISSION BHAGIRATHA
Objective:
The Telangana government has taken up the flagship program of Mission Bhagiratha project with the grand ambition of providing safe drinking water to every household as per the idea of Honorable Chief- Minister Mr. K. Chandrasekhar Rao Mission Bhagiratha is a project aimed at reducing the burden of diseases caused by drinking contaminated water and improving the living standards of the people.
As a part of this project, which is being built in a very comprehensive way to provide enough water to every household without leaving a single family, 100 liters per capita (LPCD) for families in rural areas and 135 LPCD per capita in urban areas. It is targeted to irrigate the city areas at the rate of 150 LPCD and similarly 10% of the water availability in this project will be provided to the industries.
Project requirement:
As the two major rivers of South India, Krishna and Godavari flow through the state of Telangana, people depend on 82% percent of groundwater. Not only is the richness of their groundwater reduced, but the highly concentrated mineral salts are also being made unfit for drinking.
Almost every two years drought greets the state. During periods of drought, the ground water level is getting deeper and deeper.
As the ground water level is going down, the concentration of minerals like fluoride and iron in the water is increasing, drinking the water is causing various diseases to the people.
Both the WHO and the Government of India have issued cautionary instructions to the public to reduce the use of groundwater and switch to surface water sources.
Department Details:
The Government during the formation/reorganization of Wanaparthy as new district on 11.10.2016 there was a division & Intra sub-division Wanaparthy for the entire district. In January 2017 two more new sub-divisions were formed: – Kothakota and Pebbair Sub-divisions.
