In fact, water plays a key role in the daily life of human beings. To create awareness among the people about the importance of water, the Central government had introduced Jal Shakti Abhiyan.

UNICEF project director and special officer B Prabhakar said that water is one of important natural renewable resources, which reaches and depletes from earth in the form of cycle.

The people must recycle it and must reuse it without wasting. Now-a-days people are facing problems with water shortage. Youth of the present generation must understand the severity of this problem and must create awareness among the people by educating the people on Jal Shakti Abhiyan, he appealed.
