The Chhattisgarh government has launched a comprehensive water conservation program, with Chief Minister Sai presenting the state’s successful model to national leaders.
The state of Chhattisgarh has unveiled a new water‑conservation initiative aimed at curbing water scarcity across its districts. Chief Minister Sai highlighted the program’s key components during a press conference held in Raipur on Thursday.
The scheme focuses on large‑scale rainwater harvesting, watershed development, and the rehabilitation of existing water bodies. Local communities will receive training and financial support to implement small‑scale projects such as check dams and percolation pits.
During his address, CM Sai emphasized the model’s scalability and its potential to be replicated in other water‑stressed states. He also announced a monitoring framework that will track water‑level improvements and farmer adoption rates.
The government expects the initiative to increase groundwater recharge by 15% over the next three years, thereby boosting agricultural productivity and reducing irrigation costs for farmers.
