Jam is an intermittent river in central India in southern Madhya Pradesh. It originates in Betul District and flows through Chhindwara District during its short run, ultimately draining into the Kanhan River. This confluence is located at the border with Maharashtra.
An ambitious water project in the form of a dam had been proposed by Maharashtra in anticipation of the growing water needs of metro Nagpur. However the project was shelved for the time being due to lack of co-operation from the state government in Madhya Pradesh.
A gotmar (stone throwing) fair, located between Sawargaon (Savargaon) village and the town of Pandhurna, is organized every year along its banks.
