Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his Independence Day speech today urged the people to come forward and contribute in conserving water resources and harvest rainwater. PM Modi said this has to be taken up as a mass movement at the grassroots level.
"The movement towards water conservation has to take place at the grassroots level. It cannot become a mere government programme. People from all walks of life have to be integrated in this movement," PM Modi said in his I-Day speech. PM Narendra Modi had said this in his first Mann Ki Baat radio address too after forming the news government.
To focus on water scarcity, the new Modi government had earlier formed a new ministry-the Jal Shakti Ministry which merged two water-related ministries.
In his Independence Day speech, PM Modi said his government is committed to address the problem of water scarcity. He said the government has allocated Rs 3.35 lakh crore for the Jal Jeevan Mission that aims to providing drinking water to every household.
"In the last years, every government at the Centre and various states, irrespective of which party they belonged to, have worked for the welfare of the people. But it is unfortunate that so many people still lack access to water even 70 years after Independence," PM Modi said.
The prime minister said today many states are reeling under the problem of acute water scarcity. PM Modi said his government is committed to provide drinking water to every household. This will be done under the Jal Jeevan Mission.
"Work on the Jal Jeevan Mission will progress with great vigour in the years to come," Prime Minister Modi said in his Independence Day speech.
