Panchayati Raj is a system of local governance in India where the administration of rural areas is carried out by elected representatives at the village, block, and district levels. The Panchayati Raj system is responsible for providing various essential services to rural communities, including drinking water supply.
The Drinking Water Helpline is a service provided by the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation to address any issues related to drinking water supply. The helpline can be contacted for any complaints or queries related to the quality and availability of drinking water.
