JAL SHAKTI ABHIYAN: CATCH THE RAIN 2021
The Department of Physiology, JNMC organized a sensitization and awareness program on rainwater conservation. The program was a part of the series of activities to be undertaken under the ‘Jal Shakti Abhiyan: Catch the Rain’ campaign. The flagship water conservation campaign under the Ministry of Jal Shakti was launched by our honorable Prime Minister on March 22, 2021, with the objective to conserve water, minimize wastage and ensure more equitable distribution both across and within states encouraging all stakeholders to create rainwater harvesting structures before the onset of monsoon to catch the rain.
“The increasing water shortage globally warrants pressing action. As groundwater is one of the primary sources of freshwater, catering to the domestic and agro needs of our country, it is extremely important to prevent its depletion. Rainwater harvesting is one of the most sustainable ways of supplementing other water sources. It is affordable and easy to implement in an environment with limited resources”
With these words the Chairman Department of Physiology, Prof. Meenakshi Gupta strongly advocated the need for rainwater harvesting.
She encouraged the staff and students of the Department of Physiology to undertake various simple and easy steps of rain water-conserving like rooftop rainwater conservation using tanks, planting trees, etc. She also discussed the plan to explore installing rainwater harvesting systems in the departmental buildings.
The offline, as well as the virtual meet, was attended by all the teaching staff, non-teaching staff, and the students of the Department of Physiology.
