Rain Centre
Rain Centre are a network of permanent exhibitions that seek to spread water literacy among urban Indians. They define the role played by every Indian citizen in harvesting rainwater and using it to combat the menace of water scarcity. The Rain Centre is intended to be a museum and a laboratory rolled into one. As a museum, it is intended to showcase how an installed Rainwater Harvesting system works. Interested people can take tours, to see exhibitions on rainwater harvesting, get pamphlets and buy books on rainwater harvesting. As a laboratory, it is intended, to demonstrate a working version of the Rainwater Harvesting. It intends to collect and display statistics of how much rain water has been accumulated over time. It also intends to have a water testing facility on site wherein people can test the purity of water. In short, the Rain Centre provides the know-how to the people for harvesting rainwater. It equips the civil society to take leadership in the movement to conserve water. The Rain Centre also helps to begin the process of rebuilding a society of ‘water literates'. Janhit Foundation has the distinction of setting up the second Rain Centre in the country, in Meerut - the first of its kind in North India - which was set up on July, 2004 in collaboration with the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), New Delhi. The Rain Centre building has a live model of rooftop rainwater harvesting with an area of 185m2. It harvests a total volume of 1,10,437 liters of rainwater on an average annually. Since its inauguration, Janhit Foundation's Rain Centre at Meerut received visitors from a number of important national and international institutions who have expressed an interest in rainwater harvesting and a lot of eminent personalities who were amused by the experience.
