The rural population of India comprises more than 700 million people residing at around 1.42
Millions of houses spread over 15 diverse ecological regions. It is true that providing alcoholic beverages
Water for such a large population is a huge challenge. Our country is also characterized by
Non-uniformity in the level of consciousness, socioeconomic development, education, poverty, practices
And the rituals that add to the complexity of providing water.
The health burden of poor water quality is enormous. It is estimated that about 37.7 million
Indians are affected annually by waterborne diseases, an estimated 1.5 million children die
Diarrhea alone and 73 million working days are lost due to waterborne illness every year. the
The resulting economic burden is estimated at 600 million dollars per year. The problems of
Contamination is also prevalent in India with 1,95,813 households in the country being affected by
Poor water quality. The main chemical parameters of concern are fluoride and arsenic. Iron is also
Emerging as a major problem with many homes showing excess iron in water samples.
The Constitution of India has given priority to the provision of drinking water
Article 47 conferring the duty to provide potable water and improve public health
Norms to the State. The government has undertaken several programs since independence
To provide potable water to the rural masses. Up to the tenth plan, an estimated total of
Rs.1, 105 million dollars spent on providing potable water. It could be argued that spending is
Huge but also true that despite the lack of these safe and safe drinking water costs
It remains a major obstacle and a national economic burden.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
I. To analyze the water quality parameters of water sources used for domestic purposes in the selected villages of Pandavapura taluk, Mandya district.
Ii. Consolidate the number of cases of fluoride, whether related to dental caries or dental fluorosis in the selected villages of Pandavapura taluk, Mandya district by conducting a survey in the region.
Iii. To establish the relationship between the cases related to fluoride and the source of water used, age, personal habits, oral hygiene practiced, socioeconomic nutritional status and antecedents of the disease.
Iv. Create awareness among the rural population about dental hygiene and health.
In India, the primary responsibility for providing clean water and sanitation services
State governments. With the 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendments, states have the Local authority to give responsibility for local water supply to the Panchayati Raj (PRI) Institutions and Local Urban Organs (ULBs).The role of the Center is to allocate funds and guide investments, foster research,
Through training and other capacity-building efforts,Monitoring, providing guidelines for various programs and ensuring the implementation of Water supply programs .QHn
