Waterman of Jharkhand Simon Oraon stressed on returning back to the nature. Oraon while speaking during his inaugural speech during a two-day All India Seminar on ‘Achieving Water and Security in Jharkhand’, also added that vegetation and water sources have been overlooked over the years while bringing developmental projects in the State.
“God has given us a message of living in coordination with each other, but we are overlooking the message. Today a question of water problem has arisen with the farmers of this State…we must think about preserving and propagating old water resources in the state,” said Oraon. He also appealed on strengthening Gram Sabha in villages so that a sentiment of communal cooperation could be developed among villages, he added.
A two day seminar on water security was inaugurated at Engineer’s Building in Ranchi organised by Institute of Engineers, Jharkhand Foundation, UNICEF, and Indian Chamber of Commerce. Seminar was inaugurated by Padmshree Simon Oroan during which he highlighted the steps taken towards water security in the rural areas of the State.
