Union Minister and Chief Minister Lead JSJB Two Point Zero Review in Rajasthan

Union Minister of Jal Shakti C. R. Paatil and Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma led a statewide review of Jal Sanchay Jan Bhagidari two point zero (JSJB two point zero) implementation in Rajasthan, convened by the National Water Mission, Department of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation, Ministry of Jal Shakti in collaboration with the Government of Rajasthan. The meeting brought together District Collectors and Municipal Commissioners, along with the Chief Secretary and senior State and Central officers. The review aimed to assess readiness ahead of the monsoon and to share replicable approaches.

District Collectors from Bhilwara and Dungarpur presented district level progress and innovative water conservation initiatives under the programme. The Dungarpur presentation, representing a predominantly tribal district, illustrated how sustained community participation has driven river rejuvenation and local recharge efforts, yielding measurable ground level outcomes. Officers discussed monitoring mechanisms, community mobilisation strategies and the need to replicate successful interventions in similar agro climatic zones.

Rajasthan was recognised for securing the third position nationally under Jal Sanchay Jan Bhagidari one point zero (JSJB one point zero) and for leadership in large scale groundwater recharge and conservation. Officials highlighted the Alwar school model, where schools have helped create recharge structures and promote water literacy among students, and the revival and construction of traditional tankas in Barmer, which have strengthened decentralised storage and resilience in arid areas. These examples were cited as evidence that low cost, locally adapted interventions can deliver significant benefits.

The Chief Minister affirmed the State Government will intensify efforts under the programme and urged districts and urban local bodies to improve performance and contribute to national groundwater recharge goals. The Union Minister emphasised the urgency of creating adequate rainwater recharge capacity before the monsoon and noted that funds under MGNREGA have been earmarked for water conservation works, urging proactive utilisation and convergence with other schemes. Districts were asked to prioritise community participation and close monitoring to ensure effective implementation.
