Warangal: The Kazipet based Bala Vikasa Social Service Society has come up with a unique initiative called “Bala Vikasa Sujal ATW (Any Time Water)” offering one litre of purified chilled water for just one rupee. The initiative was aimed to benefit the travellers, labourers and all the citizens in the tri-cities of Warangal-Hanamkonda-Kazipet, said the Bala Vikasa executive director S Shoury Reddy.

In a ground-breaking approach in the field of community water plants it has led a safe water revolution in Telugu states by setting up 714 water plants benefitting 14 lakh rural poor in 714 villages during the past 12 years.
The kiosks being set up in the tri-cities would be open round the clock and would be operated in a hygienic environment using modern technology. The users could have one litre of water by dropping one rupee coin, Shoury Reddy said.
