Namsai, Nov 6: In a significant step to enhance water conservation and promote sustainable water management, Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein launched the 15-day Jal Utsav campaign at the Multipurpose Cultural Hall in Namsai today. The campaign, organized by the District Administration in collaboration with the PHE & WS Department, aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of creating awareness about water as a life-sustaining resource.
In his address, Mein emphasized the need for collective responsibility and sustained community ownership of government infrastructure, particularly assets created under the Jal Jeevan Mission.

"Our efforts must instill a sense of belongingness to these resources within local communities," he stated.
Meanwhile, DC Namsai C R Khampa outlined the campaign's objectives, emphasizing the initiative's alignment with the National Jal Jeevan Mission and the Ministry of Jal Shakti’s efforts to foster water conservation across India’s aspirational districts.
DPO Namsai, Keshab Sharma presented an overview of the campaign's objectives, followed by presentations from various departments, covering topics such as drinking water and sanitation, irrigation, water rejuvenation projects, and the rejuvenation potential of Borbeel Lake.
Led by DCM, the members present also took the Jal Utsav Oath, pledging to uphold the principles of Respect, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Recharge water resources.
The Jal Utsav campaign is part of a broader national initiative led by the National Jal Jeevan Mission and the Ministry of Jal Shakti to foster a nationwide movement for sustainable water management.
The Jal Utsav campaign will run from November 6 to November 24, covering 20 aspirational districts, including Namsai. Activities are designed to deepen understanding of water resources and encourage collective action for sustainable management.
