The Jal Jan Abhiyan will be implemented by the Ministry of Jal Shakti and the Brahma Kumaris organization. The main objective of the campaign is water conservation. During the campaign, the volunteers from the organization will conduct public awareness campaign on preserving water. The campaign is to run for eight months. They will focus on building new water bodies and also on preserving more than 5,000 water bodies. The target of the campaign is to reach at least ten crore people and organize 10,000 programs.
What is the plan?
The Brahma Kumaris organization is deploying its Raja Yogis to conduct the campaign. Raja Yogis are well-versed yoga practitioners.
