CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory (CSIR-NCL), Pune has launched a new technique called SWASTIIK technology.
It helps to disinfect water by using natural oils.
It was launched because, water-borne diseases have increased India’s disease burden.
This technology was developed in backdrop of National Jal Jeevan Mission (NJJM).
