VIKSIT BHARAT

 

In India’s pursuit of holistic development, the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra is actively fostering the realization of government schemes, particularly in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir (UT of JK). The mission aims to extend the benefits of these initiatives to every citizen, emphasizing inclusivity at the grassroots level.

 

Amidst significant public engagement, the Yatra highlights a collective commitment to propel India toward becoming a developed nation by 2047.

 

Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed substantial progress over the past four years, particularly in providing water connections to both hilly and plain areas. In 2019, approximately 7.82 lakh houses in JK had water connections, a number that has impressively surged to 14 lakh houses, marking a significant achievement in the ambitious Jal Jeevan Mission.

 

A notable success is the Water Supply Scheme (WSS) in Hergawas, serving two villages with a predominantly Scheduled Tribe (ST) population. This project, implemented with a budget of Rs. 47.0 lakhs, stands as a testament to the mission’s commitment to reaching remote areas, benefiting 134 households and 2158 individuals.

 

In regions along the Line of Control (LoC), the ‘Jal Jeevan Mission’ has turned dreams into reality by providing drinking water through pipes, significantly improving daily life, especially for women. Villages like Baltan and Nilphan Top Village in Larnoo, Anantnag, have experienced transformative changes, ending a 50-year wait for clean tap water.

 

Nazia from Budgam shared her story during the Viksit Bharat Abhayan, expressing gratitude for the provision of water connections, which has not only eased their lives but also allowed them to utilize time more productively.

 

Achieving a milestone of crossing 75% coverage under the Jal Jeevan Mission in Jammu and Kashmir is a cause for celebration. Out of 18,69,821 rural households, the UT is now providing clean tap water to 14,02,693 rural households, showcasing the government’s commitment to ensuring access to safe drinking water.

 

Success stories from various villages highlight the transformative impact of the Jal Jeevan Mission. In Hergawas, the rhythmic flow of tap water brings joy to every home, particularly among the ST population. The government’s continuous efforts are evident in the recent approval of 102 new Water Supply Schemes worth Rs 476.71 crore, aiming to cover an additional 54,752 rural households. Chaman Lal of Kalakote, Rajouri, appreciates the government’s efforts under the Amrit Sarovar Programme to revitalize the ancient water body in their village, known for fresh and tasty water .

 

The involvement of various stakeholders underscores the collaborative approach to achieving the mission’s objectives. With about 3300 schemes planned under the Jal Jeevan Mission at an estimated cost of Rs. 12,975.00 crore, the UT is making significant strides in providing access to safe drinking water.

 

The introduction of the Har Ghar Jal Certification process by Gram Panchayats ensures transparency and community ownership. In conclusion, the journey of Jammu and Kashmir under the Jal Jeevan Mission is a remarkable story of progress and transformation. The collective efforts of the government and local communities are shaping a future where access to clean and safe drinking water is a reality for every household in Jammu and Kashmir.
