PM Modi Announces Clean Drinking Water to Every Household by 2024

At a time when millions across India don’t have access to clean water, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has promised piped water to all the households in the country by 2024. Last month, he brought various water ministries together to resolve the issues of the water supply including the shortage of drinkable water and river pollution.

According to a report that was published by NITI Aayog last year, 600 million individuals across the country face massive water stress and close to 200,000 die every year due to lack of clean water.
