To ensure the smooth operation of the new system, Srinivas stressed the need for seamless coordination among various departments and the simplification of administrative processes. He advised that the best practices being adopted across different districts should be actively shared. Furthermore, he directed the organization of regular training and capacity-building programs for Drawing and Disbursing Officers (DDOs), district-level authorities, and other relevant personnel.

Transforming Water Conservation into a ‘People’s Movement’

During the meeting, District Collector Akshay Godara issued strict directives to all departmental officers to work with absolute synchronization. The Collector emphasized that water conservation must not remain a mere administrative formality. Instead, it should be transformed into a widespread public movement at both rural and urban levels. Every gram panchayat and urban local body will monitor daily progress, which will be uploaded directly onto the state portal.

From Voluntary Service to ‘Jal Gaurav Awards’: Key Campaign Highlights

This 11-day campaign is designed as a mission-mode operation entirely dedicated to water security and environmental preservation. Key activities will include:

• Shramdaan (Voluntary Labor) & Cleanliness: Extensive cleaning drives will be conducted around rivers, canals, old dams, traditional stepwells, and village ponds. Public places like cow shelters (Gaushalas), bus stands, railway stations, and drinking water sources will undergo intensive sanitization.
• Cultural and Ritualistic Connect: The campaign’s launch day will feature the traditional worship of water bodies, ‘Vande Ganga’ Kalash Yatras, morning processions (Prabhat Pheris), and ‘Peepal tree’ worship. In the evening, traditional lamp-lighting ceremonies (Deepdan) will illuminate local water bodies.
• Special Gram Sabhas (May 26): On the second day of the campaign, special village council meetings (Gram Sabhas) will be convened across all panchayats to pass approvals for new water structures and administer a water conservation pledge to citizens.
• Defense & Police Personnel Contribution (May 31): On the occasion of Jyeshtha Purnima, personnel from the police, army, and paramilitary forces will dedicate a day to voluntary labor (Shramdaan) for rejuvenating water bodies. Additionally, water bowls (Parindas) will be set up for birds.
• Immediate Benefits for Farmers: The Agriculture and Horticulture Departments will expedite approvals for modern irrigation technologies, including sprinklers, drip irrigation systems, and farm ponds.
• Honoring Water Warriors: The campaign will culminate on June 5 with a grand closing ceremony at the district headquarters, where individuals and organizations demonstrating exemplary work in water conservation will be honored with the prestigious ‘Jal Gaurav Samman’.

The high-profile meeting saw the participation of Superintendent of Police Lokesh Sonwal, Additional District Collector Hemraj Paridwal, Chief Executive Officer and Campaign Nodal Officer Lakhan Singh, along with all district-level department heads and block officers who connected via video conferencing.
