Speaking on the occasion, executive secretary and country coordinator of India Water Partnership, Veena Khanduri said, “As primary providers, managers and users of water, women and youths are uniquely placed and positioned to help in deriving the productive changes in the water security scenario. Climate change has put enormous pressure on water security all over the world.”

Talking about the session, the chairperson of FLO Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh, Ritu Singh said, “I firmly believe that we have to work towards a sustainable future and in for that we must inculcate programmes like this. There are a lot of local problems that an individual faces which need to be looked into by improving the conditions of our rivers and water bodies. We also need to work on industrial waste and drinking water.”

Principal scientist, Water Technology Centre, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, Ravinder Kaur spoke on sustainable wastewater treatment and reuse through Jalopchar Technology which can even be operated by an unskilled person.
