Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday emphasised that water security is a shared responsibility requiring stronger systems, scientific solutions and sustained public participation, or Jan Bhagidari.
He shared an article by Union Minister for Jal Shakti C R Patil published in an English daily, highlighting India’s efforts to build climate-resilient water management through initiatives such as the Jal Jeevan Mission, Namami Gange, water conservation and technology-driven solutions.
PM Modi said the article offered an insightful perspective on how people’s participation, coupled with sustained efforts by states and communities, can help secure water for future generations in a sustainable manner.
