‘Mann Ki Baat’: PM Modi calls for increasing water conservation

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday called for scaling up water conservation efforts to save every drop along with recycling and reuse.

Addressing the countrymen through his monthly radio programme ‘Mann Ki Baat’, he said, “We all have to keep giving equal emphasis on recycling of water. The water used at home can be used in pots and can be used in gardening which can be done with a little effort.”

Modi further said that he has high hopes from the children for this task of saving water as they made cleanliness a movement and they can help save water by becoming ‘Water Warriors’.

Describing that water conservation in our country and protection of water sources have been part of society, the Prime Minister also said that he was happy that many people in the country have made water conservation a life mission. Modi cited the example of Chennai-based Arun, who has been running a campaign to clean the ponds and lakes in his area and has already done the job successfully on 150 ponds and lakes.
