Modi Launches Jal Sanchay Jan Bhagidari Initiative, Says, Time To Reduce, Reuse, Recharge And Recycle Water

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday launched the 'Jal Sanchay Jan Bhagidari Initiative' and highlighted that India has only four per cent of freshwater resources in the world and needs to people adopt the mantra of ‘reduce, reuse, recharge and recycle’ to conserve it.

He also asserted that conserving water and protecting the environment is deeply rooted in India’s cultural consciousness, as water is revered as sacred and rivers are worshipped as goddesses.

While virtually speaking at the launch of the ‘Jal Sanchay Jan Bhagidari’ initiative in Gujarat’s Surat, the PM stressed the initiative's goal of strengthening community involvement in water conservation.
