A contract was signed in Chennai to provide financial assistance to set up the two water purification plants at Podichenpalle and Shankarampet villages in Medak district, Telangana.
The groundwater in these areas has high fluoride content and salinity.

water management system and solar panels for cost-effective and sustainable operation.
These water stations are locally called ‘iJal’ stations meaning “My Water”
in Hindi.
The Grant Assistance for Grassroots Projects (GGP) was signed between Consul General of Japan, Chennai and Safe Water Network India, a non-profit organisation.
The Consulate General of Japan, Chennai, which covers Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala and Puducherry, has supported various such projects since 1990.
