Jal Shakti Abhiyaan (JSA) is a time-bound mission mode water conservation campaign led by the Government of India that commenced on July 1 this year and will continue till 15 September 2019. This nationwide campaign aims at intensive communication on water saving practices and bringing about behavioural changes in the people so as to raise the ground water level in the entire country, especially in water-stressed districts. In the state of Jharkhand too, the campaign is going on in full swing. Tasks and interventions have been planned in various domains such as water conservation and rainwater harvesting, renovation of traditional and other water bodies/tanks, reuse and recharge structures, watershed development, intensive afforestation, etc. In addition to these, making of sock pits and trench cum bunds (TCBs) in the uplands have been taken as top priority by GoJ. To generate awareness about the campaign, a one-day state wide 'shramdaan' programme was organized at block level on July 7. Under the leadership of the honourable Chief Minister of Jharkhand, government o cials, people's representatives and members of Sakhi Mandals offered 'shramdaan' across the state. Shri Raghubar Das visited Jamuaari village of B a d h u P a n c h a y a t under Kanke block of Ranchi district and offered 'shramdaan'.
