Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued a notification urging schools across India to participate in the innovative “Jal Doot” program. This program, an initiative under the Jal Shakti Abhiyan: Catch the Rain campaign, empowers students to become active participants in water conservation efforts.
Why Students?
The Jal Doot program recognizes the immense potential of students (classes VIII to XII) to be changemakers. These young minds, brimming with energy and enthusiasm, can significantly influence community behavior towards water conservation.
Learning from Success: The Assam Model
The JalDoot Programme, pioneered by Jal Jeevan Mission Assam, serves as a successful model for nationwide implementation. Here’s a glimpse into its working:

- Jal Doot Bot: A dedicated WhatsApp chatbot provides constant support, guidance, and activity reminders to Jaldoots.
- Recognition and Rewards: The program motivates students through leaderboards, Changemaker profiles, and various recognition avenues.
