Water samples from 90 schools in Rewari found unfit for drinking due to bacteria or high TDS levels

Serious concerns have arisen regarding the provision of clean water for children attending government schools in the Rewari district. The inspection revealed that water samples from 90 government schools in the district do not meet standards.

Out of a total of 638 government schools in the district, water samples were taken from 263 schools, and 90 of these samples were found to be unfit. The most critical situation was identified in schools in the Bavala, Rewari, and Nahad blocks.

Following the receipt of the report, responsible departmental officials ordered a re-sampling in the respective schools. Many government schools use water from pumps and wells, and in some cases, the water supply is provided by the Department of Public Health. Despite this, deficiencies were found in samples taken from various sources.

According to the inspection results, some samples had elevated TDS content, while others showed bacterial activity. Water testing in the schools was conducted in August-September, when samples were collected from pumps, wells, and taps and sent to the Department of Public Health laboratory. After analysis, reports were submitted to the district headquarters along with information on the water source from each school.

The inspection revealed that many schools lack reverse osmosis (RO) equipment and water filters, and in some cases, installed RO systems have been out of service for a long time. The situation was particularly severe in schools in the Bavala, Rewari, and Nahad blocks. Director of the Department of Elementary Education (DEEO) Pradip Dahiya stated that the water will only be considered clean after re-sampling following the analysis results.

The public health department has also been involved in this situation. Meanwhile, measures are being taken to ensure water supply in the schools whose samples failed the test. Minister of the Cabinet Vipul Goel stated that the government cares not only for the education of children but also for their health, emphasizing that taking such samples is an ongoing process.
