The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Government of India signed a USD 96.3 million loan agreement to provide safe drinking water and improve water supply and sanitation services in the state of Himachal Pradesh. The project is aligned with the objectives of the Government of India’s Jal Jeevan Mission which aims to provide piped water to all rural households by 2024. These interventions will address the government’s aim of providing uninterrupted pressurised water supply to households, inclusive sanitation services, strengthening operation and maintenance for sustainable service delivery, and building capacity of relevant staff. The ADB project will connect 75,800 households to the service, providing an uninterrupted water supply to about 3,70,000 residents across 10 districts.
