About this utility scheme
The scheme aims to provide pure drinking water through pipelines to every rural household in Bihar. This initiative started in 2016 with a focus on community involvement, local governance, and sustainable water management.
The Chief Minister Rural Drinking Water Nishchay Yojana was launched in 2016 to ensure every rural household in Bihar has access to safe drinking water through a piped supply system. The scheme is implemented in phases by Gram Panchayats, covering 5,013 Panchayats where water quality is not compromised or is not already being handled by the Public Health Engineering Department. The water supply aims for a maximum of 70 liters per person per day, with strong community participation in operation and maintenance.
