The programme launched by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs is an incentive scheme to encourage states and UT authorities to ensure good quality of recycled water being treated at plants.

So far, around 2,500 participants have been trained through on-site and online training programmes. The ministry also held two training sessions for assessors and samplers.

Under the initiative, participating STPs will be evaluated based on the desktop assessment, field verification, and water quality testing.
