Ministry of Jal Shakti Advances Water Management Initiatives
The Ministry of Jal Shakti has implemented the Atal Bhujal Yojana, a community-led groundwater management scheme, across water-stressed gram panchayats in seven states. The initiative aims to improve groundwater management through community participation and demand-side interventions. In addition, the Jal Shakti Abhiyan: Catch the Rain campaign focuses on scientific water conservation planning by enumerating and geo-tagging water bodies. New technological tools such as the GIS-based "Jal Dharohar" portal and the National Aquifer Mapping Programme enhance water resource monitoring and management across India. These efforts underscore the central government's supportive role in supplementing state water management initiatives.
