At a time when large parts of India are suffering from either drought or flooding, Network18 launches Mission Paani — an initiative to conserve water and ensure no Indian is deprived of this life source.
This objective lies at the heart of Mission Paani, an initiative by News 18 and Harpic India, that has grown into a national platform to combine efforts towards the goals of better hygiene and water conservation
Remembering former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee's remark that a third world war would be fought on the issue of water, UP CM Yogi Adityanath said the state plans on implementing drip irrigation to conserve water
Here's a quick look at what Mission Paani is all about and the challenge India is currently facing
To highlight the severity of the situation through Mission Paani -- a movement against India's water crisis -- Harpic and News18 are hosting its launch event on August 27 from 2.00 pm to 3.00 pm
In this special podcast, Himanshu Thakkar, Co-ordinator of the South Asia Network on Dams, Rivers and People explains the main causes behind the severe floods in the country.
The government's Nal Se Jal scheme for piped water supply alone may need Rs 6.3 lakh crore. For context, only 18.3 percent of rural households have piped water supply today
But once the water is made available, it must be preserved. That is where water harvesting comes in. Water must be stored for future use, and ground water reserves replenished. The better the water management, the less the runoff.
This special podcast is a part of Network 18’s Mission Paani campaign, which aims to raise awareness about the water crisis in India.
