In Ladakh, in an endeavour to fortify rural water resource management strategies, a pivotal two-day residential training programme was inaugurated in the Union Territory under the aegis of the National Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) on Best Practices for Rural Water Resource Management. The inauguration of this residential training programme reflects a collective commitment to fostering expertise and sharing experiences in rural water resource management, promising a brighter and more sustainable future for water access and conservation in Ladakh under JJM.
Addressing the media, Executive Councillor Er Kacho Feroz Khan stressed the need for such initiatives to bolster the smooth execution of the JJM Scheme in the region. Despite facing the harshest of terrains and geographical intricacies, Mr. Khan lauded the relentless efforts of the Public Health Engineering (PHE) Department engineers for effectively implementing the scheme on the ground. This implementation has resulted in the maximisation of benefits for a significant portion of the district’s populace, he added.
Expressing gratitude, Deputy Commissioner Kargil, Shrikant Balasahab Suse, extended appreciation to the All India Institute of Local Self Government (AIILSG) for choosing to conduct the training amidst the challenging winter conditions.
