Achievements Water provision round the clock to 376 villages and two towns Water availability in 92% of targeted villages. 98% of village clusters have legalised WHCs to represent

beneficiaries, and they have entered in contracts with the PMC for planning, operations and maintenance.

13 Paani Panchayat have been formed to protect the interest of villagers.
