Minister for Energy, Kannada and Culture and district in-charge V. Sunil Kumar said on Friday that he has instructed Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat to complete 300 projects which are pending under the Jal Jeeven Mission in the district by March 2023.
Briefing presspersons after holding a Karnataka Development Programme (KDP) review committee meeting, the Minister said that 168 projects of the 468 projects under the mission have been completed. The Government has allocated ₹310 crore to the district to implement the mission projects.
The mission is aimed at supplying safe and adequate drinking water through individual household tap connections in rural areas.

The Union Home Ministry has announced a major policy shift for ex-Agniveers, raising their reservation in Group C posts of the Central Armed Police Forces from 10% to 50%, starting with the Border Security Force. Ex-Agniveers are exempt from physical tests but must clear written exams, with a minimum qualification of Class 10 pass. The move aims to provide stable government jobs for Agniveers retiring in 2026, sparking debate on its impact on other candidates.
