The Karnali Province Government has initiated a major drinking water campaign, emphasizing long-term, technically sound infrastructure. The Ministry of Water Resources and Energy Development announced three large projects—Adanchuli Drinking Water Scheme, Mulkhola Thara Drinking Water Project, and Kupinde Parigaun Kauche Drinking Water Project—will start construction this year. A total of Rs 173.6 million has been earmarked for these multi-year projects. Ministry spokesperson Padam Devkota said the shift from small, demand-driven schemes to large-scale, well-studied projects aims to solve persistent issues of ineffectiveness and poor sustainability.
