The Rajasthan government has approved two major drinking water supply projects under the Jal Jeevan Mission, aiming to significantly improve access to clean water across Kota, Bundi, Jhalawar, and Baran districts. Together valued at ₹5,184 crore, the projects are expected to transform household water access by August 2027.
The Nonera project, costing ₹1,661.14 crore, will supply regular drinking water to 749 villages and six towns in Kota and Bundi districts, covering 1,13,287 families. The initiative includes setting up water treatment plants, reservoirs, extensive pipeline networks, and 14 pumping stations, ensuring sustained and efficient distribution.
The second initiative, the Parwan-Akawad project, approved at ₹3,523.16 crore, will benefit a wider region. It will serve 907 villages in Baran, 184 villages in Kota’s Sangod constituency, and 311 villages in Jhalawar. The project includes construction of water treatment facilities, reservoirs, and a 661-km transmission pipeline to strengthen supply infrastructure.
Both projects mark a crucial step in Rajasthan’s mission to ensure functional household tap connections and dependable drinking water access. Once completed, they are expected to provide long-term relief to water-stressed regions, reinforcing the state’s commitment to sustainable water management under the Jal Jeevan Mission.
