JAIPUR: Transparency International has entered into a first-of-its-kind memorandum of understanding with the Jodhpur-based water conservation NGO, Jal Bhagirathi Foundation, to implement a “Jal Pact”, a water agreement. The Jal Pact, drafted on the lines of the Development Pact that Transparency International has been advocating for some time, is expected to work as a tool in the hands of common people while bargaining with politicians for more accountability. “This is a totally new concept and we are doing it on an experimental basis. After they make promises to people while seeking votes, they cannot get away with them later,” says Anupama Jha, who is the executive director of Transparency International India.
