Q. Which Indian state/UT launched Mission Bhagiratha to make sustainable drinking water sources?
Answer:
Telangana
Notes: Telangana launched Mission Bhagiratha in 2015 to make drinking water sources safe and sustainable.
Several districts of the state are hard-rock terrains with minimum rainfall. The fluoride content in groundwater is higher than permissible levels. The scheme addressed these issues by constructing around 50 water treatment plants (WTP) across the state. The state has been tapping water from various reservoirs, projects and river flows, from the basins of Krishna and Godavari.
