Taking part in a review meet, Sumit Kumar says the government’s prime objective is to provide safe drinking water to every household in the rural areas under the Har Ghar Jal initiative
Chittoor District Collector Sumit Kumar has called for the prompt completion of drinking water supply projects under the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM). At a meeting reviewing the District Water and Sanitation Mission (DWSM) committee, the Collector emphasized the government's commitment to providing safe drinking water to every rural household through the Har Ghar Jal initiative.
To address water scarcity, officials were directed to prepare advanced action plans, with priority given to deepening borewells, cleaning, installing pump sets, power supplies, and GI pipes. The Collector stressed the need for timely execution of both single-village and multi-village schemes, strict adherence to quality standards, and coordination among the Rural Water Supply, Panchayat Raj, and Revenue departments to resolve land acquisition issues.
He urged proper fund utilization, prompt clearing of bills, and accelerated power connections, permissions, and demand notices. Continuous monitoring of water supply, offline entry in areas without mobile signal, regular water quality testing in key locations, and the activation of Village Water and Sanitation Committees were also highlighted.
