This is further to an earlier post on providing water connections to all in two districts of Uttar Pradesh. Under the Jal Jeevan Mission started in 2019, some other States were also undertaking the task of ensuring every rural household has a tap - with varying degrees of success. The Jal Jeevan Mission also mandates training five persons in every village, especially women, in using field test kits so that water can be tested there.
Goa is the first State to have achieved 100% success in rural households - over 2 lakh of them - and has now started working on monitoring - both pressure and quality of water.
One thing that I have learnt preparing for these posts - how very much was just not given importance to at the ground level and how much is being done / still requires to be done.

From my friend PC: Goa So , previous govts have used these basic necessities like electricity to get back at people as punishments. A good example was bareilly ( where i come from) . Always the BJP wins from there. And when mulayam and akhilesh became CM they openly told the public that had they woted for SP even bareilly would get 24 hrs electricity like badaun.
Bareilly being a commisionery and was also selected to become an antimagnetic city did NOT get electricity for 18/20 hrs a day .
Now the situation is that they get electricity almost 20-24 hrs a day . Log andh bhakt na bane to taajjub hai.
From SK: It really seems amazing that no government till now even thought about providing even the basic necessities to the ordinary citizens,leave alone trying to make them available.
From RG: 👏👏👏👌👌
From CS: This is pretty cool. Such a basic necessity finally being prioritized.
Yes. So now you know, despite bad press, why Modi is gaining in popularity - unlike Trump 😄
