Provision of safe and adequate drinking water in schools is mandatory. However, not many schools in the state receive good potable water. And the Centre says there has been no proposal from state officials to introduce reverse-osmosis (RO) drinking water machines in all schools. It's sad that many schools are not getting potable water. The state government has installed many RO machines along with many NGOs. Ultimately, school children should get safe drinking water to avoid health-related diseases. It's shocking to hear a department official saying that there is no such budget allocation to provide RO machines in schools. Fix such issues, says K Ragavan
