Jal Jeevan Survekshan (JJS-2023)

Srinagar district has been ranked as the highest-performing district under the Jal Jeevan Survekshan (JJS-2023), outdoing 114 certified villages across India. This comes as proof of Srinagar's fidelity to the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), an initiative to provide universal access to clean and safe water. The district attained these results through exceptional JJM implementation as assessed by the Ministry of Jal Shakti (MoJS) between October 2022 and June 2023. Under this assessment, Srinagar also excelled in Har Ghar Jal certification, water testing, and specialized training. The district also established Pani Samitis promoting community involvement in Water Supply Schemes. JJM aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of providing clean, safe, and adequate drinking water to every rural household in India by the year 2024.
