Vehaan Subramanian, an 18-year-old from Dubai, created a water treatment plant in Uttar Pradesh. The project, named ARUNA, treats arsenic-contaminated groundwater for local communities. Funding was primarily sourced from his personal savings and a reading club he managed. Residents were trained to operate and maintain the facility for sustainable access to clean water. This initiative exemplifies the collaborative efforts between local government and citizens addressing critical water quality issues.
