A UNOPS WASH consultant speaks with a resident in Uttar Pradesh State, India
In 2019, the government of India started the Jal Jeevan Mission to provide adequate, safe and reliable drinking water to all rural households in India by 2024, through the installation of functional household tap connections.
UNOPS has partnered with the government of Denmark to provide strategic technical support to the Jal Jeevan Mission in 137 villages across 11 of the most water-scarce districts in the Bundelkhand and Vindhya regions of Uttar Pradesh. The efforts prioritize active community participation, with a special focus on gender equality.
To support longer-term sustainability, local communities are mobilized with knowledge and skills to take ownership of the water connections in their villages.
“We realized how much water is wasted by us every day, which could be saved and reused in kitchen gardens. Now we save water and have started using grey water more efficiently,” explains Savita Kaushik.
