Which ministry runs the Jal Sanchay Jan Bhagidari initiative?
- A.Ministry of Rural Development
- B.Ministry of Jal Shakti
- C.Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change
- D.Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Ministry of Jal Shakti. It runs the Jal Sanchay Jan Bhagidari initiative and it is this ministry that extended the citizen feedback window on the JSJB 2.0 portal to 30 November 2026. Option A is a reasonable guess because rural employment funds often pay for water structures on the ground, and option D is tempting because farmers are the biggest users of groundwater, but neither ministry owns this drive. Option C handles forests, pollution and climate policy rather than water conservation works of this kind. The ministry's own framing is useful to remember: the drive is meant to turn water conservation into a Jan Andolan, a people's movement, which is why a feedback portal open to any citizen sits at the centre of it. More than 1.5 crore structures had been reported under the second phase by 31 May 2026, and the feedback is used to verify what has been reported.
