I think providing safe drinking water is the prime responsibility of the state. Recent decision of Goverment of AP ,India to provide safe drinking (bottled mineral )water to all villages is yet another laudable scheme after offering Rice @Rs.2/KG to the poeple below poverty line. India spending a paltry 1.4% of it's GDP which is far below even Bangladesh and China(3.4%) and US(14%) and Sweden(27%) !!!????.
Now a days when we go from Hyderabad to our old villages in AP we are necessarily required to carry drinking water as our immune system does not have enough defence against the E.coli strains of rural water sources. I am sure so many highly mobile rural people around the urban conglomerations who run around for their livelihood have similar immune systems.
