A silent revolution is taking place in India -a revolution which should have happened decades back.

Jal Jeevan Mission!

Launched on Aug 2019 by PM @narendramodi, the mission, in just 2 years, has ensured potable water supply for ~ 25 CRORE citizens (4.75 crore families)!

1/n
More than 1 LAKH villages have been covered till now and the water coverage has increased from around 15% in 2019 to 40%+ now.

So, how did this happen? : 6 Key Drivers!

2/n
A. Strong political will:

Conceptualised & spearheaded by Hon. PM, there is a significant commitment towards the vision of achieving Har Ghal Jal by 2024!

Ministry of Jal Shakti, headed by @gssjodhpur ji has been carved out to undertake the implementation of this vision.

3/n
B. Putting money where mouth is:
A staggering sum of 3.6 Lakh Crores has been made to the mission. In 2021-22, 50,000 Crores were allocated.

4/n
C. Decentralised implementation
Similar to Swacch Bharat and Ayushman Bharat, JJM has a strong decentralised implementation wherein decisions are shaped and customized by communities. Every geography has diff requirements and JMM gives that flexibility to communities.

5/n
D. Partnerships
JJM has extensively leveraged partnerships with multi-lateral institutions, corporates, expert groups and NGOs who can support in capacity building, driving awareness at community level, providing tech expertise and leveraging global learnings.

6/n
E. Extensive capacity building at community level

5 lakh+ women have been trained at ward and village level who are helping the mission by sensitizing communities in expediting the implementation of JJM.

7/n
F. Mission Mode Implementation
The entire initiative is implemented in a mission mode - it has strict timelines for achievement of goals. Monitoring & reviewing is done on a daily basis to track the progress. States and local bodies are nudged to keep performing better.

8/n
With the success of Jal Jeevan Mission, India looks well poised in solving one more fundamental issue. When it comes to implementing such large scale programmes, the world has started looking towards India!

Truly a moment which captures, "Modi hain toh mumkin hain!"

India, in #Paralympics 2020 has won 19 medals, including 5 gold medals. This is higher than cumulative tally of all medals ever won by India in the last 60 years. How did this happen?

1/n
A big part of the answer lies in the structured all-rounded approach followed by Govt. In 2014 itself, the Govt announced TOPS - Target Olympic Podium Scheme. Without mincing words, Govt announced its intent to send our athletes to podium.

So what is TOPS?
2/n
TOPS is as a programme which provides all neccessary aspect to drive successful performance amongst our athletes - foreign training, exposure to international competition, equipment and coaching, scientific staff etc. Also, it provides monthly stipend of Rs. 50,000/-.

In June 2020, India had a COVID death rate of ~ 3%. For the current wave, it's ~ 1%. This is a result of rapid health system strengthening. PPEs, beds, vaccines, testing kits - the country worked on every front.

Salute to the tiredless efforts of millions involved in this!
Unfortunately, we are not hearing stories of lives being saved. We are not being told about cases wherein health system personnel are working day and night to treat and save our people.

Here are the numbers. Yday, for 1.8 lakh cases, we had 1027 deaths.
In 1st wave, Sept 16 had highest cases while sept 19 had highest deaths. Conservatively, let's take a 7 day period.

Taking a base of 126,789 cases on April 7 & death rate of yday, the mortality rate is still ~ 1%!

Trend will continue unless increase breaks the system!

A lot of people across the globe are wondering: With all these massive technological advancements, WHY IS THE WORLD NOT PREPARED FOR HANDLING PANDEMICS? How can a flu disrupt entire world and global economy? Well, the answer really lies in how our health systems are setup! (1/13)
Essentially, a health system comprises 3 components:
a. Patients
b. Healthcare Professionals
c. Institutions (Hospitals, Government, Manufacturers)

Generally, in case of regular diseases (eg: Cancer, Hepatitis) 1 or 2 components are pressurized. In a pandemic, all 3 are. (2/13)
A. Patients : In a pandemic, a patient is the greatest threat to other citizens as he is the carrier of the disease. Further, the awareness of the novel flu takes a considerable time to be generated, leading to that patient already affecting many unconsciously. (3/13)
