Water conservation becoming people’s movement in nation: PM Modi
New Delhi, Feb 16 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually inaugurated Jal Jan Abhiyan in Rajasthan’s Sirohi on February 16. While addressing the event virtually, PM Modi expressed his satisfaction as water conservation is becoming a people’s movement in the nation. “Due to such a large population, water security is an important duty for India too. It is our collective responsibility. That is why during ‘Azadi ka Amrit Kaal’, the country is viewing water as a resource for tomorrow like they say 'Jal hai toh kal hai'. ‘Jal Jan Abhiyan’ is beginning at a time when the water crisis is being globally seen as a crisis of the future. In the 21st century, the world is understanding the seriousness that the earth has limited water resources,” he added.
