Anuppur, under Jal Jeevan Mission, the Tap Water Scheme is bringing a change in the lives of the villagers, due to which the life of the villagers is becoming more simple and easy. We are talking about village Baskhali of Kotma development block of Anuppur district. Where the villagers have taken a step towards tap water in every house. Now the life of the villagers has become easier and they are getting pure and clean drinking water from the tap, due to which the villagers are very happy.
It is noteworthy that earlier in village Baskhali, one had to struggle a lot for water in the village. The people of the village used to walk far away from home and bring water from hand pumps and wells with great difficulty, due to which they had to face a lot of problems. Under Jal Jeevan Mission in village Baskhali, the Tap Water Scheme was implemented by the Public Health Engineering Department Section Anuppur in the financial year 2022-23 at a cost of Rs 68.03 lakh. Under the scheme, 02 tube wells were dug, sump wells of 20 KL capacity, electrification, 5979 meter pipe line was extended and tap connections were provided to 116 families of the village. Thus, pure drinking water is being provided through tap connections in the entire village.
Sarpanch of Gram Panchayat Baskhali, Mrs. Asha Singh, while expressing gratitude to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav, Public Health Engineering Department, said that we villagers had never thought that we would ever get tap water in our house. Now all the families in our village have started getting pure drinking water from the tap. Pure water has also improved the health of the family members. The Sarpanch told that a village water and sanitation committee has been formed in the village and the tap water scheme is being operated/maintained by the committee. 05 women of the village were given training in water testing through FTK (Field Test Kit). So that they keep testing the water of the drinking water sources established in the village at fixed intervals, so that the people of the village can get pure drinking water.
