Describing ‘Vande Ganga’ (a water conservation public campaign) as an ambitious project of Chief Minister Shri Bhajanlal Sharma, Dr. Bairwa stressed the need to cultivate ‘water-consciousness’ at every level. He reviewed the progress of several major initiatives, including:

Water Conservation as a ‘Jan Andolan’
