Conservation of water, environment part of India's cultural consciousness

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday called the conservation of water and environment a part of India’s cultural consciousness, pitching for the “reduce, reuse, recharge and recycle” mantra to save water.

He was virtually speaking at a programme marking the launch of the ‘Jal Sanchay Jan Bhagidari’ initiative in Surat, a step aimed at strengthening community involvement in water conservation.

“For water conservation, we have to work on the mantra of ‘reduce, reuse, recharge and recycle’. We also need to adopt innovative techniques and the latest technology to conserve water,” said the PM.

Modi said India has just four per cent of freshwater resources, and many parts of the country face a water crisis. “In the last few days, various parts of India have seen rain fury, which was unprecedented,” said the PM.

Stressing the need to save water, he said water and environment conservation is part of India’s cultural consciousness.

The Jal Sanchay Jan Bhagidari initiative aligns with the ongoing "Jal Shakti Abhiyan: Catch the Rain" campaign, reinforcing Modi's vision of collaborative water management to ensure long-term water security, according to an official statement.

Jal Shakti Abhiyan: Catch the Rain

It is well known that all around the world there are water problems in different countries, but just a few solutions are posted on the media to make the world know. Let me tell you about a program of water conservation in India: the ‘Jal Shakti Abhiyan: Catch the Rain’ campaign. It was launched by the government as a Jan Andolan (mass movement). This program encourages water conservation at the grassroot level via active participation of people.

They recollect rainwater in the 4-5 months of monsoon and it is the only source of water for most parts in the country. So, this scheme is aimed to mandate all stakeholders to build rainwater harvesting infrastructure, according to the climatic conditions and subsoil strata in a particular area, to ensure proper storage of rainwater.

The government also urged people to boost water conservation efforts and undertake water management work such as desilting and deepening & widening of water bodies, before the onset of monsoon, so that the country can be well-prepared to conserve rainwater.

This campaign has a very significant contribution in the care of water that allows to create awareness in those involved. In addition, it is extremely useful as an example to follow. Let's do it together!
