According to this new mandate, departments responsible for these flagship programmes will be obliged to provide monthly updates on progress and expenditures by the 7th of each month to the CMO. Besides the CMO, the Planning Department will also monitor and assess progress from the planning stage to execution. District ministers and secretaries will conduct regular review meetings to guarantee the effective execution and timely conclusion of these initiatives.
The choice to place the Jal Jeevan Mission under flagship oversight follows the dissatisfaction expressed by former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje regarding the sluggish advancement of the scheme in Jhalawar district. Raje raised alarms over the persistent water crisis and held officials responsible for the delays, igniting a larger discussion throughout the state regarding the mission’s performance.
