PM Modi’s Jal Mandir: Restoring and Resurrecting India's Water Bodies

Published By : Admin | September 20, 2023 | 11:54 IST

PM Modi has always emphasized the importance of water and environment conservation. Initiatives like the Jal Jeevan Mission, Swachh Bharat Mission, Jal Shakti Abhiyan and Mission LiFE are testimony to the same.

H S Singh, Retired Forest Officer, Government of Gujarat narrated an incident when CM Modi devised the concept of ‘Jal Mandir’ for restoring and resurrecting water bodies in the state of Gujarat. As Gujarat has more than 18,000 villages with one to five water ponds in every village, CM Modi recommended that the areas surrounding the ponds must be beautified enabling a systematic plantation of trees. As the water bodies hold a deep cultural significance for the villages, CM Modi envisioned the ‘Jal Mandir’ as an effective mechanism to maintain and revive water bodies in the state. This in turn, would enable cultural restoration, support for bird and environment conservation, recreational tourism as well enabling water conservation at the grassroots level.

A heart-touching letter from PM Modi
December 03, 2024

For Divyang artist Diya Gosai, a moment of creativity turned into a life-changing experience. During PM Modi’s Vadodara roadshow on October 29th, she presented her sketches of him and H.E. Mr. Pedro Sánchez, the President of the Government of Spain. Both leaders stepped out to personally accept her heartfelt gift, leaving her overjoyed.

Weeks later, on November 6th, Diya received a letter from the PM praising her artwork and sharing how even H.E. Mr. Sánchez admired it. PM Modi encouraged her to pursue fine arts with dedication, expressing faith in the youth’s role in building a "Viksit Bharat." He also extended warm Diwali and New Year wishes to her family, showcasing his personal touch.

Overwhelmed with joy, Diya read the letter to her parents, who were elated that she brought such immense honour to the family. "I take pride in being a small part of our country. Thank you, Modi Ji, for giving me your love and blessings," said Diya, adding that receiving the letter from the PM deeply inspired her to take bold actions in life and empower others to do the same.

PM Modi’s gesture reflects his commitment to empowering Divyangs and recognising their contributions. From numerous initiatives like the Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan to personal connections like Diya’s, he continues to inspire and uplift, proving that every effort matters in shaping a brighter future.
