Chhattisgarh has secured the first position in the country in the third phase of the “Jal Sanchay Jan Bhagidari” (JSJB 3.0) initiative, a community-driven water conservation programme under the “Catch the Rain” campaign of the Ministry of Jal Shakti.
The state successfully completed 77,719 water conservation structures out of 79,775 registered units. It is to be noted that the “5 Per Cent Model” implemented in the Koriya district promotes the voluntary allocation of 5% of agricultural land for the development of groundwater recharge infrastructure through coordinated local participation.
