Access to safe water: India achieved its Millennium Goal

Rural Development Minister Joshi said in New Delhi that India had achieved the MDG target for drinking water. Indeed, it is currently 84% of India's rural population has access to healthy water sources.
However, the country faces a huge challenge: to maintain the quality of drinking water in rural areas. Most sources are from a ground overexploited by agriculture and industry, not to mention the release of untreated processed.
"India has made considerable progress in access to clean, safe drinking water in most rural areas of the country. I am happy to say that we achieved the MDG for drinking water. However, it is much to do. Our goal is to provide each household access to safe drinking water by 2012, "said Joshi.
