A total number of 129 officers have been appointed as Central Nodal Officers (CNOs) for 129 Water Stressed Districts under “Jal Shakti Abhiyan: Catch The Rain- 2024”. This campaign will go on with the theme “Nari Shakti se Jal Shakti”.
As many as 661 Jal Shakti Kendras have been setup and 527 districts have prepared District Water Conservation Plans under the campaign. Earlier the theme for the Jal Shakti Abhiyan: Catch the Rain – 2023 campaign was “Source Sustainability for Drinking Water”.
The campaign drives to make check dams, water harvesting pits, rooftop RWHS etc and removal of encroachments. Apart from this, de-silting of tanks to increase their storage capacity; repairs to step-wells and using defunct bore-wells and removal of obstructions in the channels which bring water to them from the catchment areas etc; is also one of the aiming areas.
