At REEDS, we have continued our efforts in various initiatives on Drinking Water and Sanitation. In particular, I would like to mention our verification of ODF status of more than 280,000 households for the Swachh Bharat Mission in the State of Andhra Pradesh. Delivering expertise in time is in itself an art and I am glad to note that REEDS is one of the foremost NGOs in the country in this area. Our ability to monitor Rural development programs continues to receive laudable attention from the Government of India.
