Govt Launches Sujalam Bharat App for Rural Water Management
The government has launched a new app called Sujalam Bharat to help manage drinking water in rural areas.
This app will make it easier for people and officials to keep track of water supplies.
It shows real-time information about water sources, the condition of water infrastructure, and how well the water is being managed.
The app also gives each village a unique digital ID to keep everything organized.
The goal is to make sure every rural household has clean and safe water.
The app was developed with the help of a special institute that works with space and mapping technology.
The government hopes this will make water management more transparent and efficient.
The Sujalam Bharat App was launched by the Ministry of Jal Shakti to manage rural drinking water supply systems.
The app provides real-time monitoring, geo-referencing, and community feedback for better water management.
It integrates critical data like water sources, asset inventories, and water quality reports into a single platform.
The app generates a Sujal Gaon ID for every habitation, detailing drinking water sources and infrastructure conditions.
The Sujalam Bharat Database supports states and districts in adopting a structured approach to digital operations and maintenance of rural water supply schemes.
