One Stop Resource Center on All water related Information in a district
As an innovative attempt to break the Silos in water sector, Asok Kumar conceptualized "Jal Shakti Kendras" (JSK) as a Common One stop resource center on all water related information of a district, as a part of the "Catch The Rain" campaign he had initiated. JSKs are now set up in over 600 out of 700 odd districts in the country. These JSKs will also act as “knowledge centres” for disseminating information related to water, techniques for water conservation and water saving and also provide technical guidance to local people as well as to the district administration. They will help in preparing the water budget for the district and also planning crops based on the water availability.
