• Nodal Ministry: Ministry of Jal Shakti.

Core tasks the campaign lays out for people/communities:

1. Adopt rainwater harvesting systems at home, in societies, workplaces.
2. Install recharge pits/shafts and repair unused borewells for groundwater recharge.
3. Restore baolis, wells, and traditional water bodies.
4. Remove silt from ponds/reservoirs to improve water retention during monsoon.
5. Maximise tree plantation in water retention areas.

Strategic Implementation Pillars

A. Core On-Ground Tasks-

• The current layout mandates five priority interventions to transform every rainfall event into a water conservation opportunity:

1. Rooftop Harvesting: Implementing rainwater harvesting setups in every residence, corporate facility, and workspace.
2. Subsurface Recharge: Installing scientifically designed recharge pits and shafts, and repairing defunct borewells to push water directly into depleted aquifers.
3. Traditional Rejuvenation: Restoring ancient Baolis (stepwells), traditional wells, and local water bodies.
4. Desilting: Removing accumulated silt from local ponds and reservoirs to scale up monsoon water retention capacity.
5. Afforestation: Driving intense tree plantation drives (Mission Ankur) to enhance green coverage over water catchment zones.

B. Inter-Schematic Policy Convergence-

• The initiative optimizes fiscal resources by integrating and channeling funds from multiple Central and State programs:

1. Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission - Gramin (VB-GRAM-G).
2. Per Drop More Crop (PDMC) and Repair, Renovation and Restoration (RRR) of Water Bodies under the PMKSY umbrella.
3. Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority (CAMPA) allocations.
4. Finance Commission Grants alongside distinct State Government water conservation schemes.

C. Institutional Node: Jal Shakti Kendras (JSKs)-

1. The Setup: Mandates setting up a dedicated Jal Shakti Kendra as an institutional node in every district.
2. The Role: Functions as a knowledge and facilitation hub to provide tech-guidance on water harvesting to local communities and help district administrations execute scientific water planning.
