Act of Kindness Society Successfully Completes IEC Campaign Under Jal Jeevan Mission in Dimapur

The Act of Kindness Society, serving as the Implementation Support Agency for Dimapur

District under the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), has successfully completed its outreach across

249 villages in both urban and rural areas of Dimapur.As part of its efforts, the organization

conducted an Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) Campaign aimed at

raising awareness on the Operation & Maintenance (O&M) of water supply systems. The

initiative focused on empowering Village Councils, Self-Help Groups, Church Leaders,

WATSAN (Water and Sanitation) Committees, Youth, and Student Leaders to take active

ownership of their water infrastructure.

The campaign emphasized several key aspects:

Regular Maintenance & Inspections: Encouraging communities to conduct routine

servicing of pumps and motors to ensure uninterrupted water supply.

Groundwater Replenishment: Promoting the construction of recharge wells to enhance

groundwater sustainability.

Grey Water Management: Educating participants on the proper management of wastewater

from kitchens, showers, and washing machines.

Financial Sustainability: Stressing the importance of End User Water Fees for the long-term

maintenance of water supply systems.

Record-Keeping & Monitoring: Encouraging the maintenance of detailed records for better

planning and accountability.

Village councils were urged to take full responsibility for the planning, operation, and

maintenance of their in-village water supply systems. By sharing success stories from

other communities, the campaign demonstrated how collective efforts lead to sustainable

and effective water management.

The completion of this initiative marks a significant milestone in ensuring safe and

sustainable drinking water for the people of Dimapur, reinforcing the mission of the Jal

Jeevan Mission to provide Har Ghar Jal (water for every household).
