200 Cr water project turns massive






Public contributes Rs 200 crore to Maharashtra government's water project.

A water project that was initiated by the government to resolve water crisis in Maharashtra has now turned massive owing to the proactive endeavor by 6,000 residents who have contributed nearly Rs 200 crore to the effort.

This seems to be the only project that has seen joint collaboration from various political properties including NCP and opposition party such as Peasants and Workers Party. The government however is doing its part by airing the project online.

Of 40,000 villages in Maharashtra, 25,000 have been hit by drought for three consecutive years. Launched by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis four months ago, the project has so far seen 93,447 water conservation works completed in 6,202 villages in the divisions of Nashik, Amaravati, Nagpur, Pune, Konkan and Aurangabad.

But the beauty of this project lies in the unity showed by people from different villages. “The overwhelming response along with their enthusiasm for the work is an eye-opener for the government. People in the villages have started taking up the projects in terms of physical support and also raising funds,” Fadnavis said.

Thus, such endeavors prove the fact that when people unite, wonders do happen.Public contributes Rs 200 crore to Maharashtra government's water project.
