Jaldoot 1.0 created a positive impact in the villages where it was implemented. The participants who became Jaldoots across all the villages still continue to work for the project. With the help of the project, over 88,000 beneficiaries from more than 50% of villages have overcome drinking water problems and have sufficient water for irrigation resulting in overall prosperity.
Jaldoot is a unique concept where equal efforts were taken on both tangible and intangible outcomes.
