Let us conserve every drop of water: PM

June 30, 2019 11:39

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's radio programme "Mann Ki Baat" resumed today almost a month after the PM returned to power. This is the first 'Mann ki Baat' programme in Modi's second consecutive term as the prime minister.

As India finds itself in the midst of a water-crisis, PM Modi has requested Indian citizens to conserve water. "There is no fixed way to conserve water. In different parts, different methods may be adopted but the aim is same- to conserve every drop of water," the PM said.

PM Modi lauds the concerns and efforts of the citizens towards water conservation. "Over the last few months, so many people have written about water related issues. I am happy to see greater awareness on water conservation," he says.

"I wrote a letter to Gram Pradhans on the importance of water conservation and how to take steps to create awareness on the subject across rural India," he says.

The prime minister calls for a nation wide campaign to spread awareness of the need to conserve the most vital necessity for existence of lives on earth. He appeals to the citizens, including people from the film industry, sports world and the media to come together for the cause.

The prime minister lists his requests to the people as he calls for a movement to save and conserve water. He also asks people to share knowledge and efforts on the issue on Twitter using #JanShakti4JalShakti.
