Jal Jeevan Mission is proving to be a boon for the Baiga tribals of the district
Jal Jeevan Mission launched by the Government of India is proving to be a boon for the Baiga tribals living in the forest areas of Kabirdham district. Jal Jeevan Mission is an important step towards providing clean and safe drinking water in rural areas. Through this scheme, Baiga tribals have started getting clean drinking water in village Bhanwartok, located in the remote forest area of Kabirdham district. Village Bhanwartok was earlier struggling with the problem of water shortage and unclean water, now under Jal Jeevan Mission, every house is getting tap water facility. This has not only improved the health of the villagers, but women and children have also been freed from traveling long distances to fetch water. Now clean drinking water is available at the doorstep of every house, which is also proving to be helpful in preventing waterborne diseases. Jal Jeevan Mission
Ram Phool Baiga, a resident of the village, while sharing his experience said, earlier we had to depend on wells, rivers and crevices for water. A large part of the whole day was spent in fetching water, which caused a lot of trouble in going to the field and doing other work. This was a big challenge for us. But now after getting tap water connection, water facility is available in our house. We do not need to depend on others. Now we can focus more on our daily tasks, and a positive change has come in our life. It is not only saving our time but is also proving beneficial for our health. chhattisgarh
chhattisgarh news Drinking water is being delivered to every house through tap connection in village Bhanwartok, raising the standard of living of the people of Baiga tribe. This initiative is not only beneficial for their health but is also making their daily life easier. Being a forest area, earlier the villagers had to depend on the river and Jhiria for drinking water. There was a severe problem of water due to the drying up of river and Jhiria in the summer season. Now the problem of water has ended due to the installation of tap in every house under Jal Jeevan Mission. This initiative of the Central Government is a clear indication that the schemes are now reaching the grassroots level effectively, giving even the citizens living in the poorest and remote areas an opportunity to live a prosperous and secure life. The villagers of village Bhanwartok expressed their gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai for providing drinking water facility to their homes and said that getting tap water connection under Jal Jeevan Mission has brought a big change in their lives.
