Drinking Water Projects

The aim of the Drinking Water Project Scheme is to provide water to villages where ex-servicemen population is large.  All required stores such as HDP pipes, CGI sheets and cement are provided for construction.  Stores are transported to the road head nearest to the village from where it is further carried by the ex-servicemen themselves.  The villagers through voluntary service subsequently execute the project on ground. So far 989 water projects have been implemented in various remote areas of Nepal.  During the current year (2008-09) a sum of (Indian) Rupees 2.46 crores was spent on these projects.
