Introduction
Jal Shakti Abhiyan – Catch The Rain with the tagline “Catch The Rain- where it falls, when it falls” was a nationwide campaign launched by Shri NARENDRA MODI, Hon’ble Prime Minister of India on 22.03.2021, World Water day to nudge states and stakeholders to create appropriate Rain Water Harvesting structures (RWHS), suitable to the climatic condition and sub soil strata of the area, with people’s active participation. The campaign was launched to create large scale awareness on water conservation so that “Jal Andolan” becomes a “Jan Andolan”. This campaign covered all rural and urban areas of all districts in the country, making it one of the largest Rain Water Harvesting campaign ever in the world.
With the active co-operation of the Central Ministries/Departments and the State Governments the “JSA:CTR”- 2021 campaign evoked a very good response from people all over the country and met astounding success. Since the launch on 22nd March 2021, in both rural and urban areas put together, a total of more than 46 lakh water related works have been completed/ on-going, in addition to more than 36 crore afforestation works and more than 43,000 training programme/ kisan-melas were held. The expenditure under MGNREGS alone is more than Rs. 65,000 crore.
After the over whelming response of “JSA:CTR”- 2021 it was decided to take up “Jal Shakti Abhiyan:Catch The Rain”- 2022 campaign with a motive to continue the vision of our Hon’ble Prime Minister to make Jal Andolan a Jan Andolan.
“Jal Shakti Abhiayn:Catch The Rain”- 2022 campaign, launched by Hon’ble President of India on 29th March 2022, is being implemented from 29th March 2022 to 30th November 2022 in all the districts (rural as well as urban areas) of the country with the tag line “Catch The rain, where it falls, when it falls”.
