The Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation under the Ministry of Jal Shakti has signed a memorandum of agreement (MoA) for mapping all drinking-water infrastructure under the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) onto the geographic information system (GIS)-based platform of the PM GatiShakti. This aims to improve planning, monitoring and coordination of rural water supply assets.
Bhaskaracharya National Institute for Space Applications and Geo-informatics (BISAG-N) will support database design, map creation, data migration and integration. This move will geo‐tag pipelines and rural piped water schemes at a household level and align them with other infrastructure networks for better convergence.
