Abstract/Description

Research by NEXUS Gains suggests that the participatory groundwater management scheme, Atal Bhujal Yojana (ABY), established by India’s Ministry of Jal Shakti in 2019, can be fine-tuned to strengthen outcomes. Grassroots-level information and feedback needs to be effectively shared with all stakeholders, including policymakers, researchers, academicians, and NGOs, through a common platform.
