Jal Sarthi’ app boosting Yogi Adityanath govt’s Jal Jeevan Mission
Lucknow ( Raghwendra Pratap Singh) :
Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath govt recently said that the ‘Jal Sarthi’ mobile app is effectively helping in making the campaign to provide clean drinking water to every rural household under the Jal Jeevan Mission more digital and transparent.
The digital initiative by Uttar Pradesh Jal Nigam Rural and the State Water and Sanitation Mission is providing villagers with direct and easy updates about the schemes at multiple levels.
Special Secretary and Executive Director of SWSD, Namami Gange and Rural Water Supply Department, Prabhas Kumar, said, “Through the Jal Sarthi app, every person can check live updates of all projects. Through a multi-level dashboard, information about work being carried out from the state level to the village level is available with a single click.”
He said that all 40,000 drinking water projects — small and big — are being linked online through the app so that their live status remains accessible to everyone. The app has separate dashboards from the state level down to the village level.
According to data available on the app, around 2 lakh km of roads across the state had to be dug up for laying pipelines during the mission, out of which construction work on more than 1.94 lakh km of roads has already been completed.
