Prime Minister Narendra Modi started ‘Jal Jan Abhiyan’ from Rajasthan today. The objective of this mission is to motivate people to plant trees and conserve water along with water harvesting.
Modi started it with a virtual program at the Brahma Kumaris Institute in Abu Road (Sirohi). He said that this mission is being started at a time when the world is looking at India for water scarcity. If there is water then there is tomorrow, for this we have to think from today itself.
Modi said that India’s spiritual institutions have a big role to play in the water campaign. In the past decades, we had a negative thinking that we used to leave topics like water conservation and environment as difficult. Used to think that this work cannot be done. This mindset has changed in the last eight years.
The Prime Minister said that India is also celebrating International Millet Year. In our country, millet and jowar have been a part of food and drink for centuries. Their cultivation also takes less water. That’s why more and more people should include coarse grains in the food.
He said that for thousands of years the sages of India have given the message of conservation of things obtained from nature. That’s why we give the name of God to water. Rivers have been considered as mothers. Our culture connects the relationship of humanity between nature and humans.
‘Namami Gange’ has emerged as a model
The Prime Minister said that not only the Ganga is getting cleaned, its tributaries are also getting cleaned.
The ‘Namami Gange’ campaign is emerging as a model for various states of the country. The falling ground water level is also a matter of concern, hence the Catch the Rain movement has been started.
He said that the work of Atal Bhujal Yojana is being done in thousands of gram panchayats of the country. In our country, important arrangements of life like water have been in the hands of women. Mothers are leading the water committee in Jal Jeevan Mission.
The PM said that in the past years, affectionate invitations were received from Brahma Kumari sisters. I also always try to come. Whenever I come among you, your affection, your affinity overwhelms me.
The Union Minister visited the Ambaji Temple in Gujarat on Wednesday evening and wished for prosperity in the country after visiting Maa Amba.
56 lakh crore liters of water rains every year
Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said – We are the fastest growing population in the world. We depend on rain water only for 40-42 days of monsoon throughout the year.
Every year 2000 billion cusecs (56 lakh crore) of water rains in our country, but out of two thousand billion cusecs of water, only 300 billion cusecs (8.5 lakh crore) are able to stop the water.
We are the biggest country to extract water from the earth. We are followed by America and China, but we are tapping 1.5 times the total usage of those two countries.
We have taken out twenty percent of the water present on our earth, now there is no water there. Most of the water resources in India are getting polluted.
Manoj Muntashir said that I was taught that bread, cloth and house are necessary to live life, but I think one more word was left out which is most important among these, that is water. Water should come before bread.
Nana said – we are not able to understand
Earlier, Bollywood actor Nana Patekar said in the program that- ‘We are not able to understand. We are not using water properly.
Our problem is, the kids grow up and move to the city. Do not return to the village. We have to do farming in a new way and this migration should end.
Union Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and Lakshyaraj Singh of the former royal family of Mewar had reached Brahmakumari Sansthan late on Wednesday regarding this programme.
BJP office bearers and members of Brahma Kumaris welcomed. Actor Nana Patekar, poet-lyricist Manoj Muntashir were also present to participate in the programme.
