Starting from Adilabad tribal areas and expanding across India, JalAmruth is a flagship water security initiative of Sun Charitable Trust designed to ensure safe, sustainable, and fluoride-free drinking water for vulnerable communities.

Project Overview

The project begins in tribal areas of Adilabad district, Telangana, where many villages face unsafe groundwater, fluoride contamination, and seasonal water scarcity. Despite efforts under Jal Jeevan Mission and Jal Shakti Abhiyan, several remote habitations still struggle with reliable safe drinking water access.

JalAmruth bridges these gaps through a community-centered model combining purification infrastructure, groundwater recharge systems, and sustainable village-level water governance.

Project Objectives

• Provide safe and fluoride-free drinking water to tribal and rural communities
• Reduce fluorosis and water-borne diseases
• Improve health outcomes and quality of life in vulnerable villages
• Reduce the burden on women and girls who spend hours collecting water
• Promote climate-resilient water infrastructure and groundwater recharge
• Build community ownership and sustainable water management systems

Key Interventions

Safe Drinking Water Infrastructure through decentralized village purification systems.

• Community-level RO purification plants
• Solar-powered purification systems
• Water ATM and safe distribution systems
• Safe drinking water units for government schools, Anganwadi centres, and health facilities

Groundwater Sustainability Measures integrated for long-term climate resilience.

• Rainwater harvesting and borewell recharge structures
• Check dams, watershed development, and conservation awareness programs

Community Ownership & Water Governance through local committees and women SHG participation.

• Formation of Village Water Committees
• Participation of women SHGs in monitoring and maintenance
• Community awareness on safe water usage and hygiene practices
• Local sustainability funds for O&M support

Decentralized safe-water systems for underserved tribal and rural communities.

Village-level participation and governance for long-term water sustainability.

Community Ownership Model

JalAmruth builds local ownership through Village Water Committees, women SHG participation, awareness on safe usage and hygiene, and sustainability funds for operations and maintenance.

Vision for Expansion

JalAmruth begins in Adilabad where fluoride mitigation and safe water access are urgent. The project is structured as a pilot model that can be replicated in other fluoride-affected, drought-prone, and tribal regions across India.

Our Commitment

Sun Charitable Trust believes access to safe drinking water is a fundamental right and the foundation for health, dignity, and sustainable development. Through JalAmruth, we are committed to building water-secure communities from Adilabad to the rest of India.

Sun Charitable Trust invites CSR partners, government institutions, and philanthropic organizations to collaborate in expanding this mission nationally.
