Renowned water conservationist and environmentalist Rajendra Singh, recipient of the Magsaysay Award, exhorted students and scientists to save water for the future generation and to save the Earth.
On Monday, he was at the National Dairy Research Institute (NDRI) to deliver a lecture on water conservation. “There is a need to conserve water to save our planet,” said Rajendra Singh.
Rajendra Singh said that with the technology which is being used in various parts of Rajasthan, water conservation could be done at very less cost. He has built several water harvesting structures along earthen check dams and ponds to collect rainwater.
He cautioned the students and scientists not to waste water and said that the demand for fresh water is increasing. “I appeal to all to conserve rainwater also,” he added. On the behalf of NDRI, Dr RRB Singh, Director, honoured Rajendra Singh.
