About Atal Bhujal Yojana

Atal Bhujal Yojana is a central sector scheme worth Rs. 6,000 crore which aims for sustainable management of groundwater with community participation. It envisages people's participation through the formation of water budgeting, preparation & implementation of Gram-panchayat-wise water security plans, etc.

It is being implemented by the Ministry of Jal Shakti (earlier known as Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation). The scheme is being funded by the Government of India and the World Bank on 50:50 basis. The identified over-exploited and water-stressed areas for the implementation of the scheme are Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh.

It includes 14 districts, 36 blocks and 1656 Gram Panchayats in the state of Haryana. The States have been selected according to the degree of groundwater exploitation and degradation, established legal and regulatory instruments, institutional readiness, and experience in implementing initiatives related to groundwater management.
