Hyderabad, February 02: The Centre today said it was trying to get “best solutions” from within the country and abroad to overcome water challenges.
“We have identified 27 types of water challenges like salinity, iron, fluoride, less water and distant source. All these challenges are on one side and there are some 50-60 solutions on the other side, both in India and abroad,” Union Minister of State for Science and Technology Prithviraj Chavan said today.
“We are not standing on formalities and we will get best solutions from anywhere,” Chavan told a press conference here.
The minister was here to inaugurate a structural facility at the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB).
Chavan said the Supreme Court has directed the Department of Science and Technology (DST) to solve the water problems in the country.
