New Delhi [India], February 15 (ANI/NewsVoir): Nearly 10 crore families in rural India do not have tap water connections in their homes. According to NSS data, only 35.8 per cent households in India wash hands with soap before a meal. Hygiene assumes greater significance in the context of the current global COVID pandemic given that the practice of handwashing with soap is one of the most effective, simplest and cheapest measures to prevent the spread of not only COVID but several other infectious diseases.
