He said that those who were not worried about the country did not care about its present or future and added that his government has been working for the last eight years so that water scarcity does not hinder the path of overall development.
Mr Modi was addressing an event called “Har Ghar Jal Utsav”, organized by the Goa government to mark 100% piped water supply coverage to rural households in the state, through video link. He mentioned his government’s flagship plan to provide piped water to every household by 2024.
