Households across Uttar Pradesh gain unprecedented visibility into their tap water’s quality, thanks to new public disclosure rules under Jal Jeevan Mission. Both digital and physical access points will display test results, empowering communities to demand accountability.
Visiting Secretary Ashok Kumar Meena outlined the plan in Lucknow, mandating integration of state portal jjm.up.gov.in with national JJM and DW&SM dashboards. This will deliver village-specific insights on water projects, purity levels, and distribution—complete with feedback mechanisms.
Meena’s agenda featured a thorough audit of mission activities, urging swift execution and robust local governance via empowered sanitation committees. At Chand Sarai in GosaiGanj, he inspected installations firsthand, terming it a ‘model village’ for seamless 24/7 supply.
Local leaders and residents recounted life-changing benefits: no more queues at distant handpumps, reliable home delivery of potable water enhancing daily routines, nutrition, and school attendance for children.
With Uttar Pradesh connecting millions to safe water, this transparency layer addresses skepticism over quality. Experts predict it will spur higher participation, faster grievance redressal, and scalable best practices, solidifying the state’s role as a national frontrunner.
