About Dataset

The Jal Jeevan Mission Progress Report of Dhamtari District, Chhattisgarh presents the district’s approach, progress and best practices in providing reliable rural drinking water through functional household tap connections. The District Water & Sanitation Mission (DWSM) is responsible for quality monitoring and timely implementation of JJM schemes across all four administrative blocks, covering 623 villages and 720 approved schemes. The report highlights substantial progress in household connectivity, with a 99.27% completion rate, while 596 villages have reported their Har Ghar Jal status and 448 villages have achieved certified Har Ghar Jal completion. Water infrastructure development includes construction of water tanks, assessment of water-resource adequacy and implementation of group water supply schemes serving larger communities. A major focus is placed on water-quality surveillance and community participation. Village Jal Bahinis are involved in water testing, while community members, Gram Sabhas and local officials participate in verification and certification processes. The report also highlights real-time functionality monitoring, water-source sustainability and capacity-building programmes for pump operators. Two notable success stories—Chikhali & Mategahan and Kekradongari—demonstrate community-managed water systems, innovative financial incentives and solar-powered drinking-water supply in a remote forest village.
