JEEVIKA Community Based Organizations Role in Implementation of Pipe Water System under Jal Jeevan Mission: A Study of Gaya District

Abstract

Water is a vital resource. It is equated with life since it directly affects people's health. One of the most fundamental human necessities and a human right is access to clean, enough water to drink. Numerous studies have revealed that community involvement is essential for the project's effective operation as it relates to the provision of drinking water. Participation of community-based organizations, such as SHGs, improves the program's quality of output. Women's engagement within class and caste considerations is guaranteed by incorporating Jeevika SHGs group women participation is ensured to ensure the sustainability of JJM and similar projects. The Bihar government has given these two key projects a boost by putting them in the Nischay programmes, which include building toilets and providing drinking water through pipes in rural regions. The execution of this strategy will be a great challenge, but scientific thought will help. With the sort of overall thinking that the Panchayati Raj Department has put out by the Government of Bihar, there is no question that the ambition of distributing drinking water through pipes in all rural parts of Bihar would be achieved within the next 3 to 4 years. This essay attempts to examine the function of Jeevika SHGs, local community-based organizations, in the development of Bihar's Pipe Drinking Water (PWS) system.
