http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/massive-effort-to-be-l aunched-for-water-conservation-modi/article8494986.ece Massive effort to be launched for water conservation: Modi Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said a âmassive effortâ will be launched for water conservation and storage under MNREGA in the next couple of months. Mr. Modi, while reviewing the functioning of official youth organisations, including the NCC, NSS, Bharat Scouts and Guides, Indian Red Cross Society and NYKS, emphasised the need for better coordination and synergy among these groups. âDiscussing the immediate tasks ahead where these organisations could play an important role, the Prime Minister said that in the next couple of months, there would be a massive effort under MGNREGA for water conservation and storage mechanisms,â a PMO statement said. His comments about the need for water conservation and storage mechanisms assume significance as various parts of the country are reeling under drought. In particular, he mentioned the tasks of Swachhta (cleanliness), creation of open defecation-free clusters, and inculcation of a fresh national spirit among the youth, as key objectives that the youth organisations should strive for. |
