“Please note that District rankings, as of 29th July 2019, are being calculated based on the progress reported under the 5 focus interventions areas, Special Interventions. Based on revised methodology, the programme related five interventions have been given 70% weightage, 20% to special interventions and 10% to outcome interventions.”

To encourage the States and Districts to focus on Jal Shakti Abhiyan, Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation is launching the District rankings based on the progress achieved during the campaign. The ranking would assess the performance of Districts against Five Intervention areas, Special Interventions and People’s participation.

The scoring methodology and detailed weightage against each indicator is mentioned below:

• District rankings to be calculated for all districts.
• District level scores to be aggregated based on mean of block scores against five intervention areas.
• Block level scores will be calculated based on progress reported against five intervention areas.
• Highest score by any block/district against progress reported under each indicator will be given full marks. All other blocks/districts will get score in proportion of progress made with respect to highest score against that indicator.
• Special indicators will measure the progress under Special Interventions and People's participation at District level.
