Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday stressed the importance of collective responsibility towards water conservation and called for a 100-day campaign to clean up water bodies and prepare them for rainwater harvesting before monsoons. The Prime Minister, on his monthly Mann Ki Baat program, said water has been crucial for the development of humankind for centuries.
“In most parts of India, rain starts in May-June. Can we start a 100-day campaign from now on to harvest rainwater, to clean the waters around us? With this thinking, a few days from now, the Jal Shakti Abhiyan – ‘Catch the Rain’ is also being started by the Jal Shakti ministry. The basic mantra of this campaign is – Catch the rain, where it falls when it falls,” he said.
Modi said this is the best time to think about water conservation ahead of the months of summer. “Yesterday was the festival of Magha Purnima. The month of Magh is associated with rivers, lakes, and water bodies…Water is life for us, it is also faith and it is also a stream of development. Water is more important than ‘Paras’ in a way. It is said that by the touch of ‘Paras’, iron can be converted into gold. In the same way, the touch of water is necessary for life,” the Prime Minister said on the 74th episode of Mann Ki Baat.
Vardhman Envirotech already has realized this dream of our beloved PM Shri Narendra Bhai Modi. They are ready to take lead, from the front.
Vardhman Envirotech has developed a system using old and golden principles which bridge a gap between the scarcity of water and availability of fresh resource that is rainwater. “The water that is being harvested by us at present is nearly 8 % of what we get in India. Rainwater that is running on the surface of roads, colonies, or cities goes waste or creates natural disasters that go wasted. For harvesting free freshwater, we can use simple, smart, scientific and sensible, economical, compact, and modular Rainwater filters which can be installed by even a local plumber.
Let’s be water positive!
