Details

Access to clean drinking water is a basic need, and the Uttarakhand government is making it easier for its poorer residents in cities and towns to get it. The 'Water Connection at ₹100' scheme by the Uttarakhand Jal Sansthan is a helping hand for families who need it most.

What is the Urban Water Connection Scheme?

This initiative by the Uttarakhand Jal Sansthan, under the Drinking Water Department, is designed to provide water connections to families living in urban areas of Uttarakhand. The main goal is to make sure that BPL (Below Poverty Line) and economically weaker sections can get a safe and affordable water connection at home.
