Lucknow, April 15: The Uttar Pradesh government has taken a significant step towards water conservation by linking it directly to schools. Under the ‘Jal Shakti Abhiyan’, a ‘Water Fortnight’ will be organized in all schools and educational institutions from April 16 to April 30. This initiative aims to raise awareness among millions of students about water conservation and encourage them to actively participate in saving water.
This initiative is designed to make water conservation a collective responsibility involving the community, starting from school classrooms and extending to society at large. A key feature of the campaign is its robust monitoring system. Daily online reporting of activities has been made mandatory for all schools.
Participants will be required to upload details of activities, along with photos and videos, through a tracking system. Basic education officers at the district level have been appointed as nodal officers to ensure accountability.
The Yogi government aims to transform the water conservation campaign into a widespread public movement, fostering a lasting mindset and behavior towards water conservation in society.
During the Water Fortnight, schools will be developed as water conservation centers. Workshops on water conservation will be organized, involving the participation of the Water Corporation, Panchayati Raj, Basic Education, and Health Departments. Additionally, a ‘Water Oath’ will be administered daily during morning assemblies, and information related to water conservation will be disseminated among students and parents to ensure the campaign reaches every household effectively.
To ensure active student participation, various competitions such as essays, debates, quizzes, and art contests will be held, fostering a sense of responsibility and sensitivity towards water conservation. Furthermore, each school will run special campaigns to clean drinking water sources and water storage sites.
Through laboratories of the Water Corporation, the quality of drinking water will be tested, and necessary purification will be ensured. The campaign will also include photo exhibitions on water conservation in schools, dialogues between students and parents, and awareness activities, making it a medium for behavioral change.
