63.4 million living without access to clean water in India
The access to clean drinking water was declared a human right by the United Nations (UN) in 2010 and yet, the World Health Organisation (WHO) lists it as one of the top 10 global needs. A large section of the population in India is yet to have access to clean drinking water.
A Delhi-based company, Bharat Jal plans to set up small (2000LPH) water plants and supply water through electric 3-wheeler vending machines. Founded under the aegis of the Faat City Tech Pvt. Ltd., the company is the brainchild of Feroz Malik.
In the initial phase, the company shall procure water from the Delhi Jal Board, which will be treated and then supplied. As the company expands, it will work in tandem with the state and local administrations for facilitating the supply of clean drinking water. BE’s Varsha Singh spoke to Feroz Malik about the importance of water ATMs in India.
