A unique mobile water purification system was launched in Odisha. The first-of-a-kind system launched by Grundfos Lifelink and eKutir was inaugurated by Panchayati Raj Minister Arun Sahoo.

The mobile purification unit based on solutions from Grundfos Lifelink, comprises of pre-treatment unit, AQpure (UF & UV based water treatment system) that will travel to certain identified villages near Bhubaneswar to treat the surface water/bore well water and convert it into safe drinking water.
