Dear Editor,
Water is the elixir of life. Unfortunately, indiscriminate use of water has left the earth parched. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken a welcome initiative to sensitise the people towards the need to conserve every drop of God’s Prasad.
Water scarcity is posing many challenges, such as drought, heat deaths and falling agricultural productivity. To mitigate agrarian distress, it is imperative to save water resources.
A comprehensive plan for water conservation that includes rainwater harvesting and afforestation, is needed. People should help their elected representatives with innovative development solutions and contribute to projects like Namami Gange and Swachch Bharat Abhiyan.
