Jeevan Amrit Project

Project Highlights

  • While the RO units are functional and the community is utilizing water from the same, several efforts have been put in place to help strengthen the exit strategy and project sustainability. Focused intervention on IEC activities, water committee formation and handholding support on business plan has been extended to the communities at large, which has resulted in a positive response from the community.
  • Regular meetings are held with PHED officials at district and block level for RO handover process to PHED.
  • More than 69,00,000 Liters of clean and safe drinking water has been sold from 124 RO plants benefiting 11,429 families and generating a revenue of ~ 17.32 lakhs.
  • In collaboration with the village gram panchayat, ten RO plants were relocated at no additional cost.
  • Out of the 124 community-based RO plants, 32 have been successfully handed over to the community for regular operations as per their demand. The remaining 92 plants have been handed over to the PHED department after providing seven years of operation, maintenance, and handholding services. Efforts continue to foster stronger community acceptance and ownership across all RO plants.
  • To address the issue of water scarcity in the border area of Rajasthan, we initiated drilling of a borewell at Rohidi village, located close to the Indo-Pak border. The initiative will provide immediate relief by ensuring perennial water supply and will contribute towards sustainable development of the communities.
