Sundra village in Rajasthan gains access to clean drinking water from Narmada River

Sundra village in Rajasthan now has access to clean drinking water after a project that brought water from the Sardar Sarovar Dam, 728km away. This Rs 513 crore initiative aims to improve water supply for 110 villages in the region. Previously, residents relied on deep wells and tube wells, which provided saline water. Many villagers faced health issues due to poor water quality. The new project, part of the Union government's Jal Jeevan Mission, has transformed the situation. The project involved overcoming difficult terrain and infrastructure challenges. It included building storage sites and pumping stations to ensure water reaches every household in Sundra. Other nearby villages are expected to receive similar access soon.
