Districts across the state are conducting regular reviews to ensure timely completion of activities before the onset of the monsoon. On the directions of Collector Mr. Ajay Dev Sharma (2014-batch IAS officer), community-led efforts are being reinforced through village-level Chaupals, plantation drives, and awareness campaigns. These initiatives are coupled with wall writings and public oaths for environmental protection, bringing water consciousness to the grassroots level.

In Ratlam, Collector Mr. Rajesh Batham (2012-batch IAS officer) has instructed the geo-tagging of all water conservation structures and mandated real-time data updates on Google Sheets. Emphasis is being placed on the construction of recharge pits near Anganwadi centres, health facilities, and schools, with departments like PHE tasked with their timely completion. Regular inspections of Jal Shakti Kendras are also underway.

In Shahdol division, Commissioner Ms. Surabhi Gupta (2008-batch IAS officer) directed that all water-related works—such as pond rejuvenation, Amrit Sarovar construction, well and stepwell cleaning, and catchment clearance—be completed by June 20. These steps aim to enhance rainwater harvesting and ensure no obstructions hinder water flow into traditional reservoirs.

A cultural celebration, Bawdi Utsav, was recently held at the historic Hathi Baori in Kamalapur, Dewas, marking the tricentennial of Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar. The festival highlighted the heritage value of ancient stepwells, encouraging community efforts for their restoration.

In Rewa and Mauganj, the campaign is not just reviving old water bodies but also constructing new farm ponds, preparing plantation pits, and restarting defunct piped water schemes through PHE. In Gram Panchayat Dhopakhari, two new farm ponds are under construction, and similar efforts are ongoing across the region.

Meanwhile, in Mandla district, a mobile awareness van launched by the Public Health Engineering Department is educating villagers on safe drinking water practices, chlorination, and water testing methods, further bolstering community awareness.

With the monsoon fast approaching, Madhya Pradesh is racing against time to complete all water conservation efforts—ensuring a more secure and sustainable water future for its rural and urban populations alike.
