| | Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday gave a call for water conservation in villages at a time when parts of the country are reeling under an unprecedented drought. Reports that monsoon would be 106-110 per cent of the normal this year is heartening, he said.
“To fight the drought and ensure water security, the governments will do its work. But I have also seen people making their own efforts. In several villages, there is awareness about the value of water and in such places there is sensitivity and a will to do something to conserve it,” Mr. Modi said in his address, Mann Ki Baat. “Rain water should be preserved. The water of a village should remain in the village. If we take a resolve to do that, it is possible through a mass campaign.” | | | |
