Prabhas Kumar said, “Through the Jal Sarathi app, every person can check live updates of all projects. Through a multi-level dashboard, information about work being carried out from the state level to the village level is available with a single click.”

He added, “Uttar Pradesh has nearly 58,000 gram panchayats across 75 districts.”

The state government aims to provide water supply connections to every rural household through around 40,000 projects, all of which are being integrated into the digital platform for public access and monitoring.

The app also allows villagers to apply for tap connections and register complaints related to water supply services. Contact details of plumbers, village heads and Jal Nigam officials are available within the platform to simplify grievance redressal.

Officials said the app additionally tracks infrastructure restoration work after pipeline installation. According to data available on the platform, nearly 2 lakh kilometres of roads were dug up for pipeline laying, of which repair work on over 1.94 lakh kilometres has been completed.

The initiative also includes water quality monitoring through field test kits operated by local women in villages. Details of the women assigned for water testing responsibilities are also available on the app to improve accountability and transparency.

The government said the digital platform is expected to improve public access to information while supporting monitoring and maintenance of rural water supply systems across the state.
