MJSA: CM Raje’s gift to Rajasthan is a boon in all its forms
The “Mukhyamantri Jal Swalamban Yojana” (MJSA), a relentless attempt by Rajasthan chief minister Vasundhara Raje to escalate water levels and making villages self-sufficient in water. The main aim is to do public welfare through public efforts.
CM Raje curated this concept of ushering public support and participation to increase water levels.
Her efforts have resulted in public participation, has increased the ground level of water in Udaipur district of the state by around six meters.
Watershed: An idea second to none
A brand new watershed structure has been constructed by former United Nations consultant on the conservation of water T Hanumantha Rao and executed by Sriram Vedire, chairman of Rajasthan River Basin and Water Resources Planning Authority. This structure fundamentally helps in implementing the MJSA and bolstering its activities by linking it with the Kakatiya-era chain-link-tank system practiced in Telangana.
After CM Raje’s dream under MJSA was realized Ms. Raje, she has recharged ground water and ground water level has increased by 5.8 meters,” District collector, Udaipur, Bishnu Charan Mallick

“Earlier the water level across the district was above 50 feet. And during the summer most of the wells and the bore well went out of the water. But now initiative taken under the MJSA, the ground water level has come up to three feet, the water level has increased in well and bore well which were earlier dried up. Dependence on water tanker has also almost finished,” Mr. Mallick added.
