Himachal Governor Acharya Devvrat on Sunday appealed to every section of the society to come forward for water conservation keeping in view the serious threat posed by the climate change.
The Governor, who was presiding over the water conservation awareness campaign and traditional technique encouragement award function organized at Ghumarwin in Bilaspur district, said the fast rising water shortage is a major concern for the entire world, for which we have to blame ourselves.
He said, de-forestation, excessive use of plastic products and chemical fertilizers have made the land infertile, which further resulted in pollution and natural imbalance.
The water conservation education campaign had been kicked- off in the State under the guidance of Magsaysay award winner Dr Rajinder Singh, which would be implemented in the entire State with the co-operation of the common people, said he.
The Governor also urged the people not to be dependant only on the Government for everything but come forward together for ensuring developmental works. Acharya Devvrat urged the people to adopt zero budgeting natural farming and work for environment conservation.
