New Delhi: The World Health Organization (WHO) has become a fan of a central government scheme. Actually, this scheme of the Modi government can save the lives of 4 lakh people. In its report, the WHO has praised this scheme, saying that if tap water is provided in rural areas under the Jal Jeevan Mission, about 400,000 deaths due to diarrhea can be prevented. With this, 1.4 crore people can be saved from water-borne diseases.
Under the Modi government's Jal Jeevan Mission, clean drinking water from taps is to be delivered to rural households of the country by 2024. So far, this work has been completed in 62.84 percent of the areas. According to World Bank data, about 820 million people in India's 12 major river basins are affected by the water crisis. According to a survey by the National Sample Survey Organisation, women in Jharkhand have to walk for 40 minutes daily for water. At the same time, this time in Bihar is about 33 minutes. In rural Maharashtra, the average is around 24 minutes. Let us know that, in 2019, PM Narendra Modi launched this scheme.
The World Health Organization (WHO) analysis focuses on diseases caused by diarrhea. The WHO report states that in 2018, 36 per cent of India's total population, including 44 per cent of the rural population, did not have clean drinking water at home. "Tap water connections in rural areas have increased from 16.64 per cent in 2019 to 62.84 per cent within 41 months. It is increasing by 13.5 percent every year."
