The campaign focuses on rainwater harvesting, water conservation, enumerating, geo-tagging & making inventory of all water bodies; preparation of scientific plans for water conservation, setting up Jal Shakti Kendras in all districts, intensive afforestation and awareness generation. The students represent the most dynamic and influential segment of the community, capable of driving significant social and environmental change.
Jal Jeevan Mission, Assam has pioneered an initiative namely ‘Jal Doot’ program for recognizing the role of students in the arena of water conservation. Under the program, students of classes VIII to XII called ‘Jal Doots’, play a crucial role in its execution and outreach. The program aims at creating Student Champions who will provide an assessment of Piped Water Supply Schemes in their locality among other activities like ambassadors of Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality, Water Conservation etc.
It has now been decided to extend the idea of the Jal Doot program across India’s diverse landscapes to reap manifold increase in its benefits. This nationwide movement could significantly bolster India’s efforts towards sustainable water use, environmental conservation, climate resilience and involving young minds (Jal Doots) in Jan Andolan for fresh idea and youthful energy.
