A significant stride towards ensuring clean drinking water in West Singhbhum’s rural heartland was marked on Saturday with the inauguration of five modern solar water towers. These state-of-the-art facilities are a product of the ‘Jal Hi Jeevan Hai’ campaign, supported by the CSR efforts of the Gua Ore Mines management. The project officially kicked off in Gangda village and concluded in Bada Jamkundi village, establishing solar energy-driven water supply systems in Gangda, Ghatkuri, Duiya, Chhota Jamkundi, and Bada Jamkundi. Villagers can now look forward to a steady and secure source of clean drinking water. The use of solar power offers a dual benefit: environmental preservation and providing a vital solution to water scarcity. The inauguration ceremony was attended by prominent individuals, including SAIL management’s GM (Mines) S.P. Das and GM (E&L) Dr. T.C. Anand, along with Gangda Panchayat Mukhiya Raju Sandil, Manki Lagura Devgam, and Jamkundi’s Munda Ruben, as well as numerous villagers. DGM (CSR) Anil Kumar was instrumental in the project’s leadership and successful completion of the solar water tower construction.
