Surat (Gujarat) [India] October 11: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s dream project for water conservation through public participation is rapidly turning into a mass movement. “Water conservation is not just a project but a sacred cause for the future generations. Water is not just a resource, but a key issue for the survival of humanity,” PM Modi said during the virtual launch of the “Catch the Rain” campaign on September 6 from Surat’s Indoor Stadium.
In just a month, the campaign has gained momentum across Gujarat, with 8,817 water conservation works initiated through public participation. Of these, over 4,588 projects have already been completed, while 4,229 are in progress and are expected to be finished soon. These projects will significantly increase water storage capacity in the state.
The “Catch the Rain” initiative announced by PM Modi focuses on raising public awareness and ensuring active community involvement in rainwater harvesting. In PM Modi’s words, “Water conservation is a sacred duty and the unprecedented results achieved through public participation will serve as an inspiration for the world in the coming days.”
