“We welcome this year’s progressive Union Budget for its focus on addressing the most burning issue that the country is battling – water crisis. The budget empowers the Jal Shakti Ministry to make positive strides towards water conservation by encouraging rainwater harvesting, restoration of water bodies, reuse of water, watershed development and afforestation. It is noteworthy that the Ministry will work with State and Central governments to alleviate water stress in 1,592 blocks across 256 districts. This undeterred focus on water will enable the government to achieve its vision of bringing piped water to every house by 2024.”, says Ranganath N. K, Area Managing Director, INDO Region, Grundfos.
