Scope : New Shillong Water Supply Scheme (NSWSS) in Meghalay.
Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma's government has laid a roadmap to further the progress and development of the state and to foster a positive change for the people.
The MDA (Meghalaya Democratic Alliance) government is working with a clear vision and a roadmap to take the state to new heights within the next 10, 25 and even 50 years.
The project is the New Shillong Water Supply Scheme.
The New Shillong Water Supply Scheme would, in all probability, be one of the largest projects funded by the state government and Sangma described it as a well-planned project.
To address the growing water demands of Shillong, the New Shillong Water Supply Scheme (NSWSS) will be implemented by the Public Health Engineering Department. This project aims to provide a reliable source of clean water to the NST and the 32 adjoining villages.
The NSWSS is being planned to cater to an explosion in the population once the NST is developed; the government estimates that the population will rise from its current 30,000 to 2 lakh people by 2042 and more than 4 lakh by 2057.
Expecting the project to be completed within the next 36 months, This project will cost approximately Rs 1,600 crore to be implemented and in the first phase alone, close to Rs 500 crore will be spent.
