'Jal Dhaara: Har Ghar Jal': History TV18 unveils new documentary on India's water life Mission

History TV18 premiered of its new documentary, 'Jal Dhaara: Har Ghar Jal’, on October 23, 2023, at 8 pm. The 40-minute documentary unravels the remarkable story of India's ambitious "Jal Jeevan Mission", a nationwide initiative aimed at providing permanent water connections to 16 crore rural households by 2024. The mission is set to quench the thirst of millions of Indians and prevent an impending water crisis in the country.

Narrated by renowned journalist Richa Anirudh, "Jal Dhaara: Har Ghar Jal" takes viewers on an inspiring journey that traces the beginning of India's water revolution, which started in Gujarat. The film features personalities like Bharat Lal, (Former JJM Mission Director), Ashok Gulati (Agricultural Economist and Professor at ICRIER), Vini Mahajan (Secretary, Jal Shakti Ministry - DDWS), Sunita Narain (Environmentalist - Centre for Science and Environment) and RK Sama (Project Director - WASMO, Gujarat), who highlight the tireless efforts of India's ‘water warriors’, including the inspiring 'Jal Sahelis', dedicated 'Pani Panchayat members' and ordinary citizens who are making valuable contributions towards water security for all.

"Jal Dhaara: Har Ghar Jal" transcends geographical boundaries as it travels from the parched valleys of Ladakh to traditionally water-stressed regions like Bundelkhand and Vidarbha. It explores the difficulties encountered in areas around the Thar desert, and urban coastal landscapes in cities like Chennai. While the film highlights the daily struggles of people due to water scarcity, it showcases the historic milestone of laying water pipelines that reach inaccessible corners of India, transforming "Har Ghar Jal se Nal" into a people's movement.
