Mission Watershed PUNARUTTHAN, along with the Watershed Mahotsav, was launched in Nagaland with the goal of rejuvenating water bodies, restoring degraded land and promoting efficient water-harvesting systems through community participation. The initiative operates under the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY), under which 14 projects have been approved and ₹140 crore sanctioned. As part of the mission’s progress, 555 watershed structures have been renovated, benefiting over 6,500 farmers. The broader objective is to strengthen water security in the Northeast, supported by 90% central assistance, while advancing climate-resilient development across the region.
