As every household in the village had access to water, the villagers’ faces were beaming with joy.
Raipur, 08 January . The successful implementation of the Jal Jeevan Mission has resulted in the provision of clean drinking water to all 47 households of the Pando tribe in Durgapur in the Korea district. The availability of safe drinking water has made the locals happy. Durgapur, a dependent village of Gram Panchayat Umjhar of development block Baikunthpur, is a Pando tribe-dominated village around 18 kilometers from Chhattisgarh’s Korea district capital. It was a difficult undertaking to ensure that each household in Durgapur village, which symbolizes the lifestyle of forest inhabitants, had access to safe drinking water. An action plan was created with the determination to offer pure drinking water to every family in Durgapur through the Jal Jeevan Mission. Believing this to be an ideal formula, the smiles on the villagers’ faces at the end of the project serve as proof that it was successful.
Meanwhile, Officials from the Public Health Engineering Department stated that the Jal Jeevan Mission is being better implemented in the district under the supervision of Collector Mr. Vinay Kumar Langeh.

By March 2024, good quality drinking water will be given to all rural residences in Chhattisgarh state continuously for an extended length of time via domestic tap connections at a rate of 55 liters per person per day under this project. Work is being done at a rapid speed to meet the aim of the Jal Jeevan Mission in the state, as instructed by Chief Minister Mr. Bhupesh Baghel.
