Jal Shakti Board

A. Who are we?

The Jal Shakti Abhiyan was launched by the Ministry of Jal Shakti in year 2019, as a campaign for water conservation and water security through a collaborative effort of various ministries of the Central and State Governments. The major focus of the campaign is on the districts and blocks that suffer water stress.

Jal Shakti team of National Law University Odisha has been constituted as per the direction of the Ministry of Jal Shakti as a part of its observation of Swachhta Pakwada. It came into action in June 2021. It is envisioned to provide safe and adequate quantity of prescribed quality water and harvesting rainwater or having its own rain gauge or rain recording system. Jal Shakti Campus also aims to completion of UN’s ensuring availability of water and its sustainable management and sanitation for all by 2030 and will also ensure that educating people and making the society aware of the need for water conservation.

B. Vision and Mission

One of the major reasons of the creation of the team is toeducate people and spread awareness about water conservation, minimal usage and reuse/recycling water along with waste disposal and management.
