Sustainable Development Goal – 6 Ensure availability and sustainable management of

water and sanitation for all (Uttar Pradesh)

Access to safe water, adequate sanitation, and proper hygiene education, can reduce illness and death, and also impact poverty deduction and socioeconomic development. Considering importance of water in life, NITI Aayog has set a goal to "ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all". For faster implementation of programme to attain Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), NITI Aayog suggested mapping of goals qua centrally sponsored schemes (CSSs), new initiatives and various targets.
