₹8.7 lakh crore approved for major infrastructure projects
Big moves from the Union Cabinet: ₹8.7 lakh crore has just been approved for major infrastructure projects, with Jal Jeevan Mission 2.0 at the center.
This new phase emphasizes ensuring reliable rural drinking-water service delivery and strengthening water quality and sustainability and making sure water quality actually holds up, not just building pipes and tanks.
Madurai airport to go international
There's more on the way: Madurai airport is set to go international (hello, global flights!), new railway lines will make travel between key cities smoother, and a fresh elevated road will connect Jewar airport to Faridabad for better NCR access.
Plus, with the new Sujalam Bharat digital system, keeping tabs on rural water assets should get a lot easier, and hopefully more dependable for everyone using them.
