The event, marking the culmination of one of the largest water conservation efforts in the country, will be graced virtually by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav will lead the event on ground, inaugurating and performing bhoomi pujan of development works worth ₹1518 crore.

A Watershed Conference will also be held during the occasion, bringing together key stakeholders and experts in water resource management.

Jawar Micro Lift Irrigation Scheme and Urban Works

The Jawar Micro Lift Irrigation Scheme by the Narmada Valley Development Department with administrative approval of ₹563.72 crore will also be formally announced. This scheme is set to benefit 21,666 farmers across 52 villages in Khandwa by irrigating 26,000 hectares of land.

In urban areas, 74 renovated water storage structures under the Amrit 2.0 scheme, developed at a cost of ₹50 crore, will be inaugurated.

Record-Breaking Achievements in Just 90 Days

The campaign has set multiple records:

  • 84,930 farm ponds constructed, exceeding the target of 77,940
  • 1,283 Amrit Sarovar under construction across districts
  • 20,955 previously pending water-related works completed
  • 1,04,294 recharge pits made—surpassing the original target of 1,03,000

These structures are already yielding results. The first monsoon rains have begun recharging wells and filling farm ponds, reflecting the effectiveness of the scientific approach adopted.

Tech-Driven Execution for Maximum Impact

For the first time in the state, modern technology such as SIPRI and Planner software was used to determine optimal locations for construction based on water flow patterns. This tech-driven planning led to rapid and large-scale construction of water conservation structures.
