To celebrate World Environment Day, Forum For Organized Resource Conservation and Enhancement (FORCE) – an NGO dedicated to the cause of Water Conservation- is organizing a One day workshop on June 6, 2009 from 9.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. at Institute of Social Sciences, 8, Nelson Mandela Marg. The workshop is titled:
COMMUNITY LEADERS IN RAINWATER HARVESTING
JAL RAKSHAKS TO CHART THE WAY FORWARD
The Workshop is being supported by Coca-Cola India. The agenda of this interactive workshop will be
1) Knowledge sharing with experts and Community leaders on Rainwater Harvesting Experiences
2) Capacity Building for Rainwater harvesting maintenance and ensuring its sustainability
And, perhaps most important,
3) Creating a JAL RAKSHAK FORUM which will act as a nucleus group to broad base adoption of Water Wise behaviours, practices and implementation of innovative water conservation solutions in their areas. This Forum will organize mass awareness activities, cultural programs and interaction with government bodies for water conservation. We hope that it will become a pressure group for mass adoption of Water Wise behaviours by all stakeholders and for policy change in the government.
A Directory of ‘JAL RAKSHAKS’ who participate in this workshop – printed and electronic – will be compiled and presented to the Chief Minister, and relevant administrative bodies and to all JAL RAKSHAKs. This directory will be a ready reference for government and citizens for taking advice on water related issues.
As a Community Leader, who has already done Rainwater Harvesting in his / her area, you have already proven that you are a JAL RAKSHAK. Let’s all, join hands to form a unified forum and be the fountainhead of a Water Conservation movement.
I request you to join us for this interactive workshop so that we can learn more from each other and jointly decide on the way forward for the JAL RAKSHAK FORUM.
