About Bundelkhand/Vindhya Project

This state government project is launched with a single motive to address water crisis issues in Bundelkhand/Vindhya region to supply piped water to households.

The Government of Uttar Pradesh started this project to ensure the supply of clean drinking water to every household of Bundelkhand/Vindhya region. Also, the government put its main focus to the remote areas of the region. Under Bundelkhnad region seven districts viz Jhansi, Mahoba, Lalitpur, Jalaun, Hamirpur, Banda and Chitrakoot are covered. Total 891 revenue villages out of 4513 of aforesaid districts are marked under this project whereas remaining 3622 revenue villages are targeted under the schemes which are being planned.

We have target of benefiting the uncovered areas of Bundelkhand/Vindhya region also under the project by 2022.

The areas under the Bundelkhand/Vindhya region are some of the most water-scarce areas in India. As per the reports it is found that very less percentage of the rural population in Uttar Pradesh has access to piped water supply. Many residents are bound to walk Kilometers to access water that may not be potable, which leads to water-borne disease many times.

Through this project we plan, survey and design the detailed reports for the water supply scheme, including analyzing the sustainability of the ground or surface water source, water allocation and environmental constraints.
