Lucknow, Mar 18 (UNI) A Public Health and Water Summit will be held in Lucknow on Wednesday focusing on the success of Maha Kumbh and the remarkable management of the Uttar Pradesh government, official sources said here on Tuesday.

"The innovative measures taken for cleanliness, water supply, health services and the convenience of devotees at Maha Kumbh have gained global attention for the first time," they said.
Sources said that under the Yogi government's leadership, initiatives such as water resource management, Ganga cleanliness, modern technology integration and disaster preparedness were effectively executed with support from Namami Gange and the Rural Water Supply Department.
