Raipur 10 January 2025: Water is a precious gift of nature, which God has given us for a price, but we have to understand its value. Today the whole world is facing water crisis. Ground water level is falling rapidly in many cities of the country and the world. If we are not alert in time, the water crisis can take a terrible form. We all have to save every drop of water. Water conservation is the responsibility of all of us. Water management is the need of the hour today. We have to pay special attention to the management, conservation of water as well as promotion of water sources for a better life of the coming generations. Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai said this while addressing the 57th Annual Convention of the Indian Water Works Association.
Chief Minister Sai said that water conservation has become even more important in the context of the global climate crisis. He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken important steps towards water and environmental conservation by launching campaigns like Jal Jeevan Mission, Jal Shakti Abhiyan, Amrit Sarovar, Mission Amrit and Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam for water conservation. Modi ji started the Har Ghar Nal Se Jal Yojana to provide clean drinking water to every household. Our government has provided tap connections to provide clean drinking water in the rural areas of Chhattisgarh, due to which the health level of the people has also improved due to clean water reaching their homes and there has also been a positive change in the standard of living of the villagers. In the program, Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai released the souvenir of the Indian Water Association.
