Thanks to the Jharkhand Rural Development Department, a pro - farmer initiative aims to revive completely dried-up borewells across the state under the Viksit Bharat G-RAM-G Scheme. 

The department is learnt to have approved a plan to construct recharge pits around dry borewells to improve groundwater levels and restore their water availability.

Under the initiative, the department has identified 9,519 dry borewells across Jharkhand where work is being planned. The project aims to improve groundwater recharge, reduce water scarcity in rural areas and create additional employment opportunities for rural residents.

Notably, the recharge Pits planned to be constructed around 9,519 Dry Borewells in the state, report claims.

Under the approved plan, recharge pits will be constructed around identified dry borewells. These pits will help collect rainwater and surface water and allow it to seep into the ground, thereby improving groundwater levels.

The initiative is expected to help revive dried-up borewells and improve water availability in surrounding villages. It will also contribute to long-term groundwater conservation and reduce water-related difficulties in rural communities.
