National Rural Drinking Water Quality Monitoring & Surveillance Programme (NRDWQM&S)

This programme is an outcome of the NRDWQM&S which empowers rural community including schools to test their own water samples. The success of this programme will be measured by the improvement in the quality of water as established in the test results under the NRDWQM&S. For this purpose there
will be close coordination between School Management Committee and Village Panchayats ultimately Village Panchayats will have the overall responsibility to
ensure that drinking water available in the schools meets the minimum prescribed standards in terms of quality, potability and quantity.
