## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI

## (SHRI BISHWESWAR TUDU)

(a)     Yes, Sir. The 'Jal Shakti Abhiyan: Catch The Rain' (JSA:CTR) campaign was launched by Hon'ble Prime Minister on 22 March 2021, the World Water Day, with the theme - 'Catch The Rain, Where it falls, When it  falls'.  JSA:CTR  has  been  taken  up  in  all  districts  (rural  as  well  as  urban  areas)  of  the  country during the pre-monsoon and monsoon period in the country i.e. from 22nd March 2021 to 30thNovember 2021.

JSA:CTR  has  been  implemented  with five focused  interventions-  (1) intensive  rainwater harvesting and water conservation which include making of roof-top Rain Water Harvesting Structures (RWHS) on buildings and water harvesting pits in compounds; maintenance of existing RWHS & creation of new check dams/ponds; renovation of traditional WHS; removal of encroachments of tanks/lakes and in their  catchment  channels;  de-silting  of  tanks,  reuse  and  recharge  of  borewells;  watershed  development; rejuvenation  of  small  rivers  and  rivulets;  revival  of  wetlands  and  protection  of  flood-banks  etc;  (2) enumerating, geo-tagging & making inventory of all water bodies; preparation of scientific plans for water  conservation  based  on  it (3) Setting  up  of  Jal  Shakti  Kendras in  all  districts (4) intensive afforestation and (5) awareness generation.

(b)  &  (c)  The  campaign  is  a  convergence  of  many  schemes  and  stakeholders.  The  budget  provided  by Central government, State Governments, Finance Commission grants and locally mobilized funds are used to undertake the works. Funds spent and work done during the JSA : CTR campaign so far, as uploaded in the designated portal, is attached as Annexure-I .

Besides  this,  National  Water  Mission,  Ministry  of  Jal  Shakti  is  providing  incentive-based financial grant up to Rs.2.00 lakh to each district for preparing scientific GIS plan. Initially, Rs. 1.00 lakh is given as financial grant and remaining Rs. 1.00 lakh is given based on the performance and quality of work done in this planning process in each district. Till date, Rs.1.77 crore have been disbursed to 177 districts.

It  may  not  be  possible  to  quantify  the  number  of  persons  who  joined  this  campaign.  However,  the campaign has been implemented with people's active participation and with the aim to make " Jal Andolan" a  "Jan  Andolan ".  National  Water  Mission,  Ministry  of  Jal  Shakti  has  tied  up  with  various  Central Government  Departments/  Ministries,  State  Governments,  Universities,  Educational  Institutions,  Banks, Railway Board, Airport Authority of India, Central Armed Police Forces, IITs, IIMs, NGOs etc for their participation.

(d)  Details  of  work  executed  in  Rajasthan  and  in  Udaipur  District  and  benefits  drawn  so  far  (as  on 06.12.2021)  therefrom is attached as Annexure-II .
