The Hon'ble President of India will confer the first Jal Sanchay Jan Bhagidari (JSJB) Awards and the 6th National Water Awards, 2024 on November 18, 2025, at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi. The winners were announced on November 11.

A total of 46 winners were selected from 751 applications received via the Rashtriya Puraskar Portal. The awards recognize outstanding contributions in water conservation, management, and community participation. Rajasthan, being a water-scarce state with per capita water availability of just 831 cubic metres, has historically performed well in water conservation initiatives like johads, tankas, and watershed management.
