editor January 16, 2024

JAMMU: While presiding over today's Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) Apex Committee meeting, Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo made a strong impression on all involved that the mission's primary goal should be to finish the schemes on schedule following the conclusion of the tendering and task allocation process. Along with other top executives from the department, the meeting was attended by the ACS, Jal Shakti Department, Principal Secretary, Finance, Secretary, Rural Development, Secretary, School Education, Mission Director, JJM, Chief Engineer, Kashmir/Jammu, and other senior officers.The Chief Secretary emphasised in her speech at this conference the significance of determining the sustainable water source for each scheme in order to fulfil the objective of achieving "Nal se Jal" for every family throughout the year. He emphasised the importance of doing the crucial feasibility studies in order to ensure that the schemes are effective in providing their customers with high-quality water. He urged the department to assign senior officers to oversee each plan's development and ensure that it satisfies all the requirements for the water delivery system. He even suggested designating a certain percentage of the work to be overseen by the relevant Chief Engineers, particularly for those projects involving groundwater sources or requiring electromechanical work to be finished. Dulloo also urged for strengthening the capacity of locals to carry out the testing of water delivered to them and operation of the related programmes. In order to maintain a pool of technically competent individuals in each village to oversee their projects, he advocated for as many locals as possible to receive training in the local technical institutions.
