Welcome to www.Jalnirmal.org

Karnataka Rural Water Supply & Sanitation Agency was established under Rural Development & Panchayat Raj Department, Government of Karnataka with the main mandate to function as State Agency for Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Mission. The primary objective of the Agency is to improve access to safe sustainable drinking water supply and sanitation services to rural communities. The Agency is implementing World Bank assisted “Jal Nirmal Project”, Government of India sponsored “Swajaldhara” and “Total Sanitation Campaign” schemes to achieve said objectives.

Ushering in the changed role of the Government from Provider to Facilitator, the project follows a demand responsive participatory approach and strengthen the decentralization process by empowering the lowest level Panchayat Raj Institutions. The Community will be capacitated to Plan, Implement, Operate and Maintain the water supply and sanitation facilities. Emphasis on the devolution of responsibilities to grass root level is aimed at ensuring sustainable community managed water supply and sanitation systems.
