New Delhi: The Delhi government has directed schools in the national capital to conduct awareness activities for students on water scarcity and importance of conserving water resources. "Recent studies and reports by various agencies and institutes have indicated scarcity of water resource is increasing day by day in most parts of the country. In order to mobilize the community at large regarding the importance of conserving water resource, 'Jan Andolan' for various activities related to water conservation will be held in each school on August 23," the Directorate of Education (DoE) said in a letter to schools.
