The Gandhi Sagar Group Water Supply Scheme, being developed in Madhya Pradesh's Mandsaur district at a cost of approximately ₹1,211.56 crores, is set to be a boon for 920 villages. The scheme will ensure clean drinking water supply to 240,000 families. The project is expected to be completed by December 2024, with potable water delivered to every household through tap connections. This initiative will not only improve the living standards in rural areas but also create new opportunities for employment. Currently, 75% of the project work has been completed, and with its completion, the scheme is expected to boost local employment and foster self-reliance among the villagers through community participation.

Employment Opportunities for Locals through the Water Supply Scheme:

The Gandhi Sagar Water Supply Scheme aims to do more than just provide water; it focuses on actively involving local communities. Over 1,200 workers have already been employed under the scheme, with many more expected to benefit as the project nears completion. To ensure smooth operation, Gram Jal and Swachhta Committees will be formed, which will consist of 50% women and 25% representatives from SC, ST, and OBC communities. These committees will play a crucial role in managing water supply and resolving water scarcity issues in their villages.

Improving Health and Reducing Water-Borne Diseases:

Addition to providing a reliable water supply, the scheme will help reduce water-borne diseases and improve public health. Villagers will be relieved from the burden of fetching water from distant sources, allowing them to focus on other essential tasks and improving their quality of life.

A New Direction for Rural Development in Mandsaur District: The Gandhi Sagar Water Supply Scheme brings new hope to the rural areas of Mandsaur district. This initiative will not only resolve the water crisis but also enhance the overall quality of life for the villagers. The ongoing efforts in water supply are marking the beginning of a new chapter in the district, which will symbolize growth and prosperity in the years to come.
