Mr. Bishwadeep Ghose, Country Head, India, Water for People India : “We commend the government’s budget for its strong focus on water management, emphasizing water supply, sewage treatment, and solid waste management projects for 100 large cities. The collaboration with state governments and development banks to create bankable projects is a significant step towards improving urban water infrastructure.
