The scheme would be a first and reflects the Government’s Vision about the Swachh Bharat Mission. It would also help in providing more water for irrigation to the farmers as well as drinking water for Nagpur. NTPC’s Solapur plant would be taken up next for use of sewage treated water. Other Thermal Power Plants on the banks of river Ganga may also be take up similar schemes thereby reflecting the Government’s commitment for the environment and concern for the irrigation to the farmers.
