India is in desperate need of safe drinking water. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is well aware of the situation. This situation has become so obvious that if the Indian government does not take the initiative to tackle it immediately, India, and maybe the whole subcontinent, would face political and social upheaval. Ensuring long-term governance and economic growth will likewise become more difficult. Modi introduced the 'Jal Jeevan Mission' earlier this month. The strategy demands for everyone to have access to safe drinking water.
