Project Rollout Plan
We propose to cover 30 villages in each state of India in our phase 1 rollout plan. The tribal villages would be identified on basis of a baseline survey.
Phase-wise Rollout Schedule:
| Phase 1 | November 2018 | 50 villages |
| Phase 2 | March 2019 | 100 villages |
| Phase 3 | June 2019 | 150 villages |
In December 2018 all state presidents shall meet for a 2 day conference and evaluate the monitoring & impact of the quarter and take measures to smoothly execute the Nirmal Jal mission in the next quarter.
