JJM Digital Academy

The JJM Digital Academy is a groundbreaking initiative that aims to revolutionize the water supply sector in India by harnessing the power of digital technology. This innovative project was established through the exchange of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation and Echo India during a two-day national conference in New Delhi on July 21 and 22.

Targeted Stakeholders

The primary focus of the JJM Digital Academy is to build the capacity of various stakeholders involved in water supply programs. The academy aims to equip administrators, engineers, Panchayat functionaries, technicians, sanitation workers, and foot soldiers with the necessary knowledge and skills to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of water supply initiatives across the nation.

Digital Technology for Training

One of the core elements of the JJM Digital Academy is leveraging digital technology to deliver comprehensive training to stakeholders. By utilizing cutting-edge tools and platforms, the academy ensures that water supply professionals stay updated with the latest practices and innovations in the field. This technology-driven approach enables participants to enhance their expertise and contribute to the sustainable management of water resources.

Building a Knowledge Repository

The academy serves as more than just a training platform. It also functions as a repository of knowledge and information related to water supply programs. The accumulated resources will be invaluable for future reference, allowing learners to access relevant data and best practices for informed decision-making and problem-solving.

Knowledge Content Providers

A multitude of reputed organizations and agencies have joined hands to provide knowledge content for the JJM Digital Academy. Notable contributors include UN and bilateral agencies, RWPF partners, trusts, foundations, institutions, and civil society organizations. Their involvement ensures that the content delivered through the program is diverse, comprehensive, and aligned with global best practices.

Collaborative Learning Opportunities

Key Resource Centres (KRCs) and Implementing Support Agencies (ISAs) are integral to the success of the JJM Digital Academy. These entities will be actively involved in training stakeholders, fostering a collaborative learning environment. Additionally, National and State governments will play a crucial role by sharing their best practices during sessions, enriching the learning experience for participants.
