(a) Water being a state subject, the works related to water resources development & management  are planned, funded,  executed  and  maintained  by  the  State  Governments  as  per  their  own  resources  and  priorities. Government of India supplements the efforts of the States by providing technical and financial assistance to them through various schemes and programmes.

Jal  Shakti  Abhiyan-I  (JSA-I)  was  conducted  in  2019  in  1592  blocks  out  of  2836  blocks  in  256  water stressed districts of the country including that of Rajasthan and was expanded as 'Jal Shakti Abhiyan:Catch the Rain' (JSA:CTR) in 2021 with the theme 'Catch the Rain - Where it Falls When it Falls' to cover all the blocks of all districts (rural as well as urban areas) across the country.  'Jal Shakti Abhiyan: Catch the Rain' (JSA:CTR) -2022 campaign, the third in the series of JSAs, has been launched on 29.3.2022 to cover all the blocks  of  all  districts  (rural  as  well  as  urban  areas)  across  the  country  including  Rajasthan.  District-wise progress of water conservation and rainwater harvesting structures completed in Rajasthan under JSA:CTR from 22.3.2021 to 28.03.2022 and under JSA:CTR-2022 from  29.03.2022 to 25.07.2022  as uploaded on the JSA:CTR Portal (jsactr.mowr.gov.in) is attached as Annexure-I and Annexure-II respectively.

Atal  Bhujal  Yojana  (ATAL  JAL)  with  World  Bank  funding  has  been  launched  for  sustainable management of ground water in community participation in overexploited and water stressed areas of 7 States including  Rajasthan.
