I have started my journey on water conservation in 2012. This work was taken up while working as Principal in K.V. Mussoorie in 2013. There was an acute problem of drinking water in Mussoorie, therefore this project - Rain Water Harvesting was adopted. There was constructed a 30,000-liter water capacity tank for rainwater harvesting and it was utilized for cleaning of the floor, toilets, watering of plants, etc. There was held pledge for students, parents, and teachers for generating awareness of water conservation. In addition to it, there were programmed water exhibitions, painting exhibitions on water conservation, rallies on water conservation, debates, and essay writing competitions on water conservation. 

The result was very encouraging and there was sufficient water for meeting the needs of more than our 800 students, 11 qtrs, and for all of our school activities. Even, there has been plantation of more than 7000 plants in the nearby hills of Mussoorie. In 2016, I got transferred to K.V. No. 1 Roorkee and I continued the same venture in K.V. No. 1 Roorkee. Here, my school strength is more than 1700. The projects of rainwater harvesting, plantation, pledge to save water, water quizzes, water exhibitions, debates, painting competitions, wall paintings, rallies, collection of A.C. wastewater, and R.O. wastewater were carried on. There was performed a offline pledge in K.V. No. 1 Roorkee, K.V. No. 2 Roorkee, Cantt Board School Roorkee, Govt Inter College Roorkee, St. Ann’s school Roorkee, Chandrashekhar school Roorkee etc. There were administered offline pledges, the ‘Save Water Save Future’ pledge for 12000 students, teachers, and parents approximately. There was built a 50,000-liter capacity rainwater storage tank in K.V. No. 1 Roorkee for recharging of groundwater. There were arranged Water Exhibitions 7 times for motivation of students in offline mode as well as in online mode. I have also used wall painting for motivation and also conducted rallies, painting competitions, debates, essay writing competitions, and other motivational activities on annual basis.

There were acted upon 4 webinars during Covid 19 with NIH Scientists, an online Inter School exhibition during Covid 19, Online quizzes (Thrice), pledge, painting competition (Twice), and plantation activities during Covid 19.

We are also working for water harvesting by collecting water in the water harvesting tank, by constructing small pits around plants, around trees.

It also helps during raining hence it is useful for the recharge of water resources and water conservation.

I am working for fostering awareness to save water through newspapers, pledge, quizzes, and other social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Our aim is to get an online pledge by one lakh students, teachers, and parents in the upcoming year. We will work together as the water is precious and we have to save water for our future survival. Let us join together for our campaign “Save Water Save Future”.
