Making 50 villages secure for drinking water and waste management facilities: Year 1 progress
April 2025
Rural communities across India continue to face challenges in ensuring access to clean and safe drinking water. Many villages experience seasonal water shortages due to erratic rainfall, depleting groundwater levels, and inadequate water infrastructure. In this context, Center for Water and Sanitation (CWAS) of CRDF at CEPT University, in partnership with HDFC Bank’s Parivartan Program, is supporting Palghar District in its journey towards water security. This initiative focuses on developing water security and waste management plans for 50 villages across the district, ensuring sustainable and community-led solutions. This slide deck showcases the progress made during the first year of the project, highlighting the achievements, activities, and impact made in Maharashtra's Palghar District.
