Water is the most important element for the existence of humans and animals: Chief Minister Dr. Yadav
Bhopal: Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that water is the most important element for the existence of humans and animals. If there is no water, life will be in trouble. Nature provides us with sufficient water through rain. In the present times, conserving water has become an important necessity for human life. We all have to store rainwater and protect it not only for the present but also for the coming generation. For this, priority will have to be given to the renovation of old water structures and construction of new water structures, so that every drop of water can be conserved. For this purpose, Jal Ganga Samvardhan Abhiyan has been started in the state from March 30, which will continue till June 30.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that under the campaign, while on one hand old stepwells and ponds are being renovated, on the other hand “farm ponds” are also being built on a large scale in the farmers’ fields. Stop dams and other water structures are also being constructed to store rainwater. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that the specialty of the campaign is that public participation has also taken a widespread form in urban and rural areas.
