Uttar Pradesh has achieved major recognition in water conservation and sustainable resource management, marking another milestone under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The state government announced that Mirzapur has secured the top position in the North Zone, while Agra has been recognised as a joint third winner in the Urban Local Body category for its remarkable performance in water management initiatives.
Commitment to a ‘Jal Samridh Bharat’
These achievements align with the vision of building a ‘Jal Samridh Bharat’ — a water-secure and development-driven India. Under the Jal Jeevan Mission, the Uttar Pradesh government has been actively implementing sustainable water management practices to ensure safe and reliable water access for every household.
The government’s initiatives include large-scale rainwater harvesting projects, efficient groundwater recharge systems, and modern infrastructure to manage urban and rural water resources effectively.
Sustainable Practices Across the State
Mirzapur’s top ranking in the North Zone highlights its successful execution of integrated water conservation projects, while Agra’s recognition underscores the state’s growing focus on urban sustainability and responsible governance. These efforts are part of a broader movement in Uttar Pradesh toward eco-conscious development and balanced resource use.
Officials emphasized that these recognitions are not just awards but symbols of the state’s collective progress in adopting environmentally sound water policies.
Guided by CM Yogi Adityanath’s Vision
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s focus on environmental sustainability and infrastructure development continues to drive Uttar Pradesh toward national leadership in several sectors. Under his guidance, the state’s efforts in water conservation, rural upliftment, and sanitation are now being acknowledged at the national level.
The recognition of Mirzapur and Agra serves as both a motivation and a model for other districts to strengthen their participation in water security and sustainable growth.
