In the heart of Amargarh village in West Bengal, Rakhi Bagdi lived through struggles that defined her resilience.
A mother of two, bound by the shackles of caste and poverty, she faced a harsh reality when her village’s only tubewell dried up.
With her husband barely managing on daily wages, the community faced an acute water crisis.
But Rakhi wasn’t one to be defeated. Driven by the love for her children and a fierce determination, she led her community to appeal to the panchayat for a solution.
Their collective voice was heard, and the Jal Jeevan Mission became their lifeline. The day clean water flowed from taps in every household was a day that marked more than the end of a water crisis—it was a victory for dignity, equality, and hope.
What once seemed impossible was now reality. Rakhi’s children no longer had to walk miles to fetch water, freeing them to focus on their education.
The transformation brought by the Jal Jeevan Mission is not just about infrastructure; it’s a story of resilience and the power of collective action.
It’s a reminder that when given the right resources, even the most marginalised communities can rise above discrimination and hardship.
Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi's vision has been instrumental in ensuring that the Jal Jeevan Mission reaches every corner of Bharat.
His leadership has empowered millions like Rakhi, turning the simple act of providing water into a force of social justice, equality, and opportunity for all.
