Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday launched Atal Bhujal Yojana in New Delhi. The Central Government scheme will promote Panchayat led ground water management and behavioural changes with primary focus on demand side management. Union Cabinet approved the 6,000 crore rupees scheme at a meeting yesterday. Urging farmers to switch over to crops that use less water, he exhorted people not to waste the precious natural resource in daily household needs.
He urged start-ups to come up with technology to ensure minimal use of water for various needs. Modi said only three crore out of 18 crore rural households today have clean, piped water. The plan, he said, is to provide the remaining 15 crore rural households with piped water in the next five years
