New Delhi : (sabla utkarsh Reporter)- Water Heroes Contest 2.0
One of the primary objectives of the Ministry of Jal Shakti is to make water
conservation a people’s movement and strengthen the water consciousness in the
country. For furthering this objective, the Department of Water Resources, River
Development and Ganga Rejuvenation, Ministry of Jal Shakti has launched the
‘Water Heroes – Share Your Stories’ Contest from September 1, 2020 with an
aim to reach out to people on the important subject of water conservation and
management.
Through this Water Heroes Contest, we hope to encourage and collate best
practices in water conservation from across India. We also hope to disseminate such
efforts across India to encourage more transformational efforts in this area. Every
month (from September, 2020 onwards) entries would be invited for consideration of
awards. Every month a maximum of 10 entries can be considered for the awards. All
selected entries will be awarded a cash prize of Rs. 10,000 each and a certificate.
To take part in the contest, the participants will have to post their success stories
on water conservation through a specially made video of 1-5 minutes (along with a
write-up of up to 300 words and some photographs/pictures) depicting the efforts and
significant contributions to conserve and manage water resources. The participants
can share their videos (with the link of their YouTube video) on the MyGov portal
(www.mygov.in). In addition to the MyGov portal, the entries can also be submitted
at waterheroes.cgwb@gmail.com. The participants are also advised to mention only
the YouTube links of their videos in the comments section and not upload the entire
video-there.
This series of Contest will end on 31st August 2021.
