SHRI BHUMARE SANDIPANRAO ASARAM: DR. SHIVAJI BANDAPPA KALGE: SMT. DELKAR KALABEN MOHANBHAI: SHRI GYANESHWAR PATIL: SHRI NILESH DNYANDEV LANKE: Will the Minister of JAL SHAKTI be pleased to state: (a) the measures being implemented to ensure the long-term sustainability of water conservation efforts in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and UT of Dadra and Nagar Haveli, district-wise and the manner in which the progress of these efforts is being monitored over time; (b) the details of the water conservation initiatives undertaken under the Jal Shakti Abhiyan in the said States/UT, district-wise, particularly in Khandwa district and the extent to which the said initiatives have addressed the challenges of water scarcity in the region; and (c) the impact of the Jal Shakti Abhiyan in various districts of the said States/UT, especially in Khandwa district during the last three years, particularly with respect to groundwater recharge and rainwater harvesting? ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI (SHRI RAJ BHUSHAN CHOUDHARY) (a) to (c) Water being a State subject, the aspects related to water resources including its conservation are studied, planned, funded and executed by the State Governments themselves as per their own resources and priorities. The Central Government supplements the measures and efforts being taken up by the State Governments. The Government of India takes various initiatives on water conservation to ensure the long-term sustainability of water conservation. Major steps taken by the Government for water conservation and rainwater harvesting across the country including the states of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and UT of Dadra and Nagar Haveli: The Ministry of Jal Shakti has been implementing Jal Shakti Abhiyan (JSA) since 2019 across the country including the states of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and UT of Dadra and Nagar Haveli. JSA: CTR has become a regular feature since 2021, with its sixth edition is implemented in all the districts (rural as well 1as urban) of the country from 22.03.2025 to 30.11.2025 under the theme “Jal Sanchay, Jan Bhagidari: Jan Jagrukta Ki Or”, emphasizing community participation and water conservation awareness. The campaign emphasizes convergent financing from various schemes of the Central, State and local bodies like Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT), Per Drop More Crop, Repair, Renovation and Restoration Components under the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY), Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority (CAMPA), Finance Commission grants etc. Under the Jal Shakti Abhiyan: Catch the Rain (JSA: CTR) campaign, Khandwa district has completed more than 7,000 water conservation and water-related works during the last three years. The district has also established a Jal Shakti Kendra and prepared a District Water Conservation Plan. Further, the district wise details of the water conservation initiatives undertaken under the Jal Shakti Abhiyan in the states of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and UT of Dadra and Nagar Haveli during the last three years are given at Annexures I, II and III respectively. To further deepen public involvement, "Jal Sanchay Jan Bhagidari" (JSJB) initiative was launched in Surat, Gujarat on 6th September 2024. This initiative encourages collective action by communities, civil society, and local governments to implement low-cost, locally appropriate water conservation solutions under a whole-of-society and whole-of-government approach. More than 1.48 lakhs works are completed under the JSJB initiative in the Khandwa district. To ensure effective implementation of the campaign, State Nodal Officers (SNOs) and District Nodal Officers (DNOs) have been appointed at the State and District levels, respectively, to monitor progress and to provide technical assistance. Besides, meetings are conducted with SNOs, Municipal Commissioners, District Magistrates (DMs)/ Deputy Commissioners (DCs), Partner Central Ministries/Departments, Central Nodal Officers (CNOs) and other stakeholders concerned to provide necessary support and gather feedback. Apart from the above, the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB), in consultation with State Governments, assesses the country’s dynamic groundwater resources annually. These periodic estimations offer crucial insights into groundwater replenishment, utilization and overall availability across all assessment units, aiding various stakeholders in informed decision-making. Furthermore, Jal Shakti Kendras (JSKs) have been established, serving as dedicated resource and knowledge centers to provide technical guidance to locals and support district administration in implementation of rain water harvesting systems. In addition, District Water Conservation Plans have been formulated to ensure sustainable water management. The progress is also monitored through online portals such as JSA: CTR (https://jsactr.mowr.gov.in/) and JSJB (https://jsactr.mowr.gov.in/JSJB/). Also, Government of India has been implementing a scheme namely Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) across the country which inter-alia includes water conservation and water harvesting structures. Financial assistance is given to various States under 15th Finance Commission tied grants which can be inter-alia utilized for rainwater harvesting. 2Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) has provisions for harvesting the rainwater through storm water drains into water body (which is not receiving sewage/effluent). Through preparation of ‘Aquifer Management Plan’ cities targets to strategize groundwater recharge augmentation by developing a roadmap for improving rain water harvesting within city limits. Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs formulated guidelines for the States to adopt measures suitable to local conditions, such as Unified Building Bye Laws (UBBL) of Delhi, 2016, Model Building Bye Laws (MBBL), 2016 and Urban and Regional Development Plan Formulation and Implementation (URDPFI) Guidelines, 2014 with adequate focus on requirement of rainwater harvesting and water conservation measures. Government of India is implementing “Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY)” with an aim to enhance physical access of water on farm and expand cultivable area under assured irrigation, improve on farm water use efficiency, introduce sustainable water conservation practices etc. PMKSY has three components/ schemes namely Har Khet Ko Pani (HKKP), Repair, Renovation & Restoration (RRR) Scheme of Water Bodies and Surface Minor irrigation (SMI) Scheme. National Water Policy (2012) has been formulated by Department of Water Resources, RD & GR, which inter-alia advocates rainwater harvesting and conservation of water and also highlights the need for augmenting the availability of water through direct use of rainfall. Department of Land Resources (DoLR) implements Watershed Development Component of Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (WDC-PMKSY) for the development of rainfed and degraded lands in the country. The activities undertaken, inter-alia, include ridge area treatment, drainage line treatment, soil and moisture conservation, rainwater harvesting, nursery raising, pasture development, livelihoods for asset-less persons etc. WDC-PMKSY, through these interventions, seeks to ensure sustainable development through improved natural resource management and better resilience of farmers to climate change Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) implements a Central Sector Scheme “Ground Water Management and Regulation (GWMR)” for providing scientific information for ground water management. The scheme is implemented throughout the country including Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and the UT of Dadra & Nagar Haveli. Major activities taken up under the scheme includes aquifer mapping and other routine activities of CGWB such as ground water level and quality monitoring, assessment of dynamic ground water resources, strengthening of scientific infrastructure for technological upgradation, various outreach activities to promote water conservation and sustainable use etc. Central Ground Water Board has completed the National Aquifer Mapping Project in the entire mappable area of about 25 Lakh sq. km in the Country including Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and UT of Dadra and Nagar Haveli. As per the Dynamic Ground Water Resources Assessments (DGWRA), the Stage of Ground Water Extraction in the district of Khandwa has improved from 41.48% in 2023 to 39.78% in 2025. The district- wise details of DGWRA 2025 for Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and UT of Dadar and Nagar Haveli, are given in Annexure IV, V and VI respectively. *** 3ANNEXURE-I ANNEXURE REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PART (a) to (c) OF UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. 3009 TO BE ANSWERED IN LOK SABHA ON 18.12.2025 REGARDING “WATER CONSERVATION INITIATIVES”.
