The
Mission Bhagiratha in Telangana State
Today, a large population of many countries
of the world is battling drinking water problems. The main reason is not water
but its proper management. This problem is very big for India compared to other
countries. Today in India, the water system is a challenge for such a large
population, so India is facing the crisis of not getting proper water
management. Here the problem of water management has become distorted. Along
with this, the people of India are not able to get good and pure drinking water
in rural areas. Today, a large population of India is struggling every day with
pure drinking water. Also, there has been an increase in water-related disputes
between many states of India, whose present example is water dispute between
Karnataka and Kerala. People from many states of India have to go several
kilometers away for water every day. Today, in many countries of the world
where the percentage of fresh water has decreased, the increase in the salinity
of water has also created problems, due to which the people have to face many
major and dangerous diseases. Water is not reachable to people due to lack of
water, conventional water bodies, water technologies and lack of advanced and
useful techniques of water conservation and management. Due to lack of water
education in India, lack of investment and lack of well-planned projects, the
large population of the country is deprived of pure water supply today.
Statistics show that after independence, the availability of water per person
has reduced by 60 percent. Water is the basis of life and it is also the basic
right of the people. Also, it is the responsibility of the government that it
should provide adequate drinking water facilities for the people.
The state of Telangana was formed in 2014,
the state first paid a lot of attention to the problem of water, wherein every
village in the state was working on the project of proper drinking water by
faucet to every household. Under this, in 2016, the Prime Minister inaugurated
'Mission Bhagiratha' in Komitibanda village, Gazvel Vidhan Sabha area of
Medak district of Telangana. It is a project to supply drinking water through
a tap, which has cost Rs 42 thousand crores. This ambitious project to provide
drinking water through pipes will be provided to 67 thousand urban and 25
thousand rural households in Gazvel assembly segment of Siddipet district. And
after 2018, every village of Telangana will facilitate drinking water through
tap and water tank in every village. Under this scheme, the government will
provide 100 liters daily to all the families in the villages and 150 liters of
drinking water available daily in the township.
To complete the water for the Telangana state
Bhagiratha Mission, the two main rivers which are deserted in the state will be
from the Krishna and Godavari. A total of 34 TMC water from the Godavari River
and 21.5 TMC water from the Krishna River will be used for the grid. This is a
scientifically designed project which will include a total of 26 internal grids
in the state level grid. The main trunk pipeline of this project is about 50000
km long which will be used to fill the water tanks in the villages and towns.
Apart from this, the houses will be provided with clean drinking water by
approximately 75,000 km pipeline from there. Along with this, software
solutions such as growth analysis and smart flow will be used to solve any
problems arising in the distribution of water. In order to improve coordination
and to optimize resources, the government will follow a turn-key model where
the organization implementing the project will also be responsible for its
maintenance. With this, the state government will use the latest technology for
the proposed water grid project.
Mission Bhagiratha is a very good scheme
through which the poor people are very likely to benefit, but it will be hasty
to say that this plan will be successful in its objective now. Because now it
is a long way to complete this plan. Even today, most of the villages in the
state are facing water problems. In many villages of Siddipet today, fresh
water is not available for drinking.
