Spreading Water Literacy
Keeping in view the emerging water crisis and deterioration in water quality of NOIDA, Janhit Foundation has felt the need of educating the next generation on the importance of water conservation and thereby create a sustainable long-term solution to this growing problem. The project aims at raising awareness amongst school children on the importance of drinking water quality and better water governance. Towards the final stage i.e. third year of the project, ten most water deficient schools would be identified and water saving structures would be installed in them. It would also be Foundation’s endeavor to advocate for the inclusion of safe and good water conservation practices in the school’s future curriculum. Through a series of workshops and informative lessons, importance of water; threats to our water security; water quality and its importance; how it is measured; water conservation and rainwater harvesting techniques were enumerated. A Tata Winger is converted and equipped with state of the art facilities for information dissemination.
Literacy Van: Launch Function was held at Nehru International Public School, NOIDA on January 13, 2010. It was graced by Dr. P. K. Mehrotra, Director, Ministry of Water Resources, Government of India, Dr S. B. Singh, Senior Scientist, Central Ground Water Board; Mr. S. K. Yadav, Professor, Department of Teachers Training and Extension, National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT); Mr. Prabhjeet Singh, Senior Field Marketing Manager, ADOBE; Ms. Anvita Singh from CAF together with students, teachers and principals from different schools of NOIDA and Greater NOIDA. The vehicle for spreading water literacy was set rolling. Through this 30 schools will be covered in the first year of the project. b) Water Resource Conservation World Water Day Celebration!
‘The World Water Day’ was jointly marked with ‘Dainik Jagran’ a leading newspaper, by conducting tests, surveys, and spreading awareness over a period of four days.

At two major crossings of Abu Lane and near Metro Plaza a group of 15 children dressed as water drops, held placards, shouted slogans and distributed pamphlets spreading awareness about water conservation. Dressed as beggars asking for water, children moved amongst the crowd to create awareness about the dire consequences of wasting this precious life sustaining natural resource.
