UP govt transforms Purvanchal through clean drinking water access, reveals study

Lucknow, July 12 (UNI) The rural eastern Uttar Pradesh has witnessed a transformative shift through the Jal Jeevan Mission, ensuring access to clean drinking water.
A joint study by international voluntary organization WaterAid India and the Geography Department of Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gorakhpur University across three districts — Gorakhpur, Kushinagar, and Maharajganj — confirms the mission’s deep impact on public health, education, livelihoods, and social cohesion.
The study, carried out over three months, involved focused group discussions, interviews, and data analysis. With support from Panchayati Raj representatives, local bodies, and officials at district and block levels, five villages in each district were surveyed to examine the changes on the ground. The study suggested that the initiative has brought about deep-rooted and measurable improvements in the lives of rural residents in Purvanchal.
