Bhadradri Kothagudem Collector Jitesh V. Patil has earned wide appreciation from the Ministry of Jal Shakti for his pro-active role in promoting community-driven water conservation efforts under Jal Sanchay Jan Bhagidari (JSJB) initiative in the predominantly tribal dominated district.
According to official sources, the construction of low-cost soak pits involving various government departments and all stakeholders in a collaborative mode and the impactful on-ground efforts under the JSJB initiative from April 1, 2024 to May 31, 2025, in the district came in for praise by the Jal Shakti Ministry.
Under the JSJB initiative, thousands of soak pits and rainwater harvesting structures have been constructed through shramadan in different government buildings, including Anganwadi centres, schools and PHCs, besides several other locations across the district, to conserve water and increase the ground water table, sources added.
