Arunachal launches campaign to provide tap water to all households

Itanagar: The Arunachal Pradesh government’s initiative to provide tap water to all rural households by 2023 under the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) has received a major boost with the launch of ‘Bestow 1.0’ – a month-long campaign that aims at empowering village communities to provide regular, safe and adequate drinking water through functional household tap connections.

The ‘Bestow 1.0’ campaign was virtually launched by Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Monday.

To mark the launch, Khandu bestowed an in-village component of water supply assets to the Village Water and Sanitation Committee (VWSC) of Ganga village in Papum Pare district. Simultaneously, at the district levels, the district water and sanitation mission (DWSM) chairpersons bestowed the in-village components of the water supply scheme to VWSCs in their respective districts.
