PM Modi launched ‘Jal Sanchay Jan Bhagidari’ initiative at Surat in Gujarat through video conferencing.
‘Jal Sanchay Jan Bhagidari’ initiative aligns with the ongoing Jal Shakti Abhiyan: Catch the Rain campaign.
The initiative aims to mobilise Gujarati residents, local government agencies, businesses, and other stakeholders to put rainwater harvesting structures into place.
About 24,800 rainwater harvesting structures are being built in Gujarat as part of this program through community collaborations.
Long-term water sustainability and improved rainwater harvesting will be made possible by these recharge structures.
The structures constructed as part of this initiative would be essential in promoting Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) engagement and highlighting Gujarat’s achievements in community-driven water conservation.
Gujarat’s community-based water conservation program has been a pioneering example in India.
