Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister K.S. Eshwarappa has warned officials that action will be taken against them in the next meeting if they do not implement schemes under Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) and other projects effectively to ensure that benefits reach the targeted people.
He was addressing a Karnataka Development Programme (KDP) meeting in Raichur on Monday.
He said that JJM is a dream project of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to provide tap water to each household in rural areas. Thus, the State Government has taken this as a key project to be implemented effectively to reach the goal within the specified period.
