New Delhi, 25th
March 2017
The "Nirmal Khora
Village” project implemented by JanaJal in June 2016 has recently been awarded
for outstanding Community Water Plants by Network 18 under Jaldaan. The award
was given away at a function held at Hotel Trident, Nariman Point, Mumbai on
March 24, 2017.
Water has been one of the
biggest problems in the colony for decades. With this project, JanaJal has
demonstrated commendable skills by not only implementing it but also operating
and maintaining the systems on 24 x 7 basis. The project, the first of its kind
in Asia’s largest labour colony was the initiative of Gen VK Singh, Hon'ble MP
Ghaziabad and MoS External Affairs, Government of India who also inaugurated
the project himself in July 2016.
It includes installation
and operation of 5 community water plants that are providing safe drinking
water at only 30 paisa per litre to the residents of Khora colony. Given the
poor conditions of ground water in Khora, JanaJal is delivering safe drinking
water compliant with global drinking water standards for quality and is
committed to scaling up the project in Khora and further in Ghaziabad. Through
its unique inclusive model, JanaJal has provided gainful employment to members
of the Khora community who operate the systems on the day to day basis and are
able to earn a sustainable livelihood.
The company already has an
agreement executed with GDA to build 33 safe drinking water kiosks in various
public places in Ghaziabad. Initial surveys have already been completed and the
company will commence installation in April 2017. With the summer season fast
approaching, the residents of Ghaziabad are poised to get tremendous relief
through this project.
