🧭 1️⃣ Mission Statement

“To ensure every Indian has access to safe, sustainable, and sufficient water through conservation, purification, and community participation — securing India’s most precious resource for the future.”

Vision:
An India where every drop of water is respected, every community is water-secure, and every citizen is a water protector.

Tagline:
💦 “Save Every Drop, Secure Every Life – Jal Kawach for Every Indian.”


📘 2️⃣ Background & Need

India — home to 18% of the world’s population — holds only 4% of global freshwater.
The nation faces a severe water crisis due to urbanization, pollution, and overuse.

Key Facts (2015–2025):

  • 70% of India’s water is contaminated (NITI Aayog, 2023).

  • 21 cities, including Delhi, Chennai, and Bengaluru, are at risk of running out of groundwater.

  • 600 million Indians face high to extreme water stress.

  • Every year, 200,000+ deaths occur from lack of clean water.

  • Rural women still walk miles daily to fetch water.

If not acted upon, India could face a national water emergency by 2035.

Thus, JAL KAWACH is designed as a nationwide action and awareness mission to conserve, purify, and manage water through people’s participation, CSR partnerships, and scientific innovation.


🎯 3️⃣ Core Objectives

  1. To ensure clean, safe, and accessible water for every citizen.

  2. To conserve water through rainwater harvesting, recycling, and watershed management.

  3. To promote community-driven water projects in rural and urban areas.

  4. To restore rivers, lakes, and ponds as living ecosystems.

  5. To build awareness and behavioural change for sustainable water use.
