Finally putting an end to the years of trouble, the Uttar Pradesh government under its 'Har Ghar Nal, Har Ghar Jal’ scheme has started laying the water pipeline across the village. Soon, under the 'Jal Jeevan Mission', the village will have a regular water supply.


“My half of the day is spent in the struggle to fill the water that I have to carry on my head. Due to this, I am unable to spend time with my family but the Yogi Government’s this unique scheme has brought happiness in my life and other people’s lives too,” said Guddi, a resident of Bukhara village.


This scheme will bring a huge relief in women’s lives as they will no longer have to carry water on their heads, and it will put an end to the woes of the women folks for a long period of time.


Due to the non-availability of potable water, the villagers had to suffer from many water-borne diseases. “We do not get healthy water to drink which leads to many types of diseases and whatever we earn goes into treatment,” said Tulsi, adding, “Under the Har Ghar Nal scheme of the Yogi Govt, we will get pure drinking water and our money will be also saved.”
