Dr. Parag Agarwal, Founder & CEO JanaJal |
Dr. Parag Agarwal, Founder & CEO of JanaJal said, “We are delighted and honoured that JanaJal WOW (Water on Wheels) has been recognized and recommended by the Ministry of Jal Shakti as an innovative field-level solution for delivery of safe water to the masses as part of the Jal Jeevan Mission. It is a unique innovation that provides the much-desired mobility for the last-metre delivery of safe water upto the doorstep of households. Further, we feel honoured that Bajaj Auto, a world leader in three wheelers has extended complete support to the vision and mission of Safe Water for All by working inclusively with our team. We now feel confident of being able to roll out thousands of JanaJal WOWs in India over the next couple of years.”
He added, “JanaJal WOW is a completely tech-managed, GPS-monitored, battery-operated, secure three-wheeler with zero carbon emissions. It mitigates the need for increased accessibility and reach by creating a ‘hub and spoke‘ delivery model deep inside communities. We look forward to playing a crucial role in the ‘Har Ghar Jal‘ mission of the Indian Government that aims to make safe drinking water available to every household by 2024. The widespread adoption of JanaJal WOW would also support the Government’s push to popularize the use of clean fuels in India and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.”
Mr. Samardeep Subandh, President Intracity Business, Bajaj Auto Ltd. said, “Bajaj Auto is keen to support the JanaJal WOW initiative that resonates with nation building and is in line with the contribution of the Company over 75 years. Our CNG operated maxima cargo variant will deliver safe drinking water to the doorstep of households. We will support JanaJal WOW to reach masses and work together towards “Har Ghar Jal Mission.”
The JanaJal WOW has a water tank capacity of 600 litres. It is intended to deliver upto 2500 litres of safe water to people’s homes every day. Every JanaJal WOW uses technology to guard against any unauthorized refilling of water thus ensuring delivery of safe drinking water according to BIS and WHO standards. The company has developed JJSUITE, a unified technology platform supported by proprietary IOT controllers and sensors that help manage every water plant and installation remotely in real-time.
Added Dr. Parag Agarwal, “JanaJal WOW functions like a mobile water ATM that can penetrate deeper into communities for home-delivery of safer drinking water. Securing the daily dose of potable water for drinking and cooking by every household can be a challenge in large parts of India. The source of water is often found at significant distances away from habitations, especially in rural areas. JanaJal WOW, an environment friendly three-wheeler was developed with the objective of delivering water to peoples’ doorstep and increase the rate of adoption of safe water as an integral part of daily life of citizens.”
He added, “We are working in conjunction with existing Safe Water Enterprises to help utilise their existing capacity through deployment of JanaJal Water on Wheels within a radius of upto 5 Kms around each of their water treatment plants. This will not only socially impact millions in the region with increased access and availability of safe water, but also reduce dependence on unsecured water sources and expensive packaged drinking water. After all, untreated water remains one of the biggest causes of COVID-19 as per a recent circular issued by the United Nations.”
JanaJal currently has more than 750 water ATMs under its management in association with implementation partners such as Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), Lucknow Metro Rail Corporation, Government of Uttar Pradesh, Indian Railways, Ghaziabad Nagar Nigam and New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC).
JanaJal water ATMs – spread across Delhi-NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat – have till now dispensed over 100 million litres of safe drinking water to people, eliminated 25 million single-use plastic bottles and helped conserve over 50 million litres of water.
