Lucknow,
16 July : Students of various campuses of City Montessori School made a strong
appeal for Conservation of Groundwater by taking out a Groundwater Awareness
March with great enthusiasm and earnestness. The March was organized jointly by
the UP Groundwater Department and WaterAid India. The students assembled at
1090 crossing in Gomti Nagar for the huge March and were given a flag-off by
the Minister for Jal Shakti, Shri Swatantra Dev Singh. It may be mentioned that
the state government is observing Groundwater Conservation Week from 16 to 22
July 2024 during which the general public will be sensitized and made aware of
the pressing need to preserve and save groundwater. This year, the theme of
Groundwater Week is “Jal Jeevan ka Karo Prayaas, Jal hi Jeevan ki Aas.”
CMS students participating in
this Groundwater Preservation March held placards with slogans on saving
groundwater and water harvesting that sent a clear message that touched the
hearts of the citizens of Lucknow and called for quick action as depleting
amounts of groundwater could bring about infertility, barrenness and
desertification of land and damage agriculture. The placards read ‘Save Water,
Save Future’, Water is life & its Conservation our Future,’ ‘Bright Future
begins with Clean Water’, ‘Water is Life’,’Save Water’, Collect the rain, ‘If
you save water, water will save you,’ and thus ignited the desire to do
something worthwhile to save water especially ground water. Children also
raised their voice not to use polythene bags, not to throw rubbish in rivers
and ponds, plant maximum number of trees and other such ways to save the
environment from pollution.
