Sharing the achievement, Anindita Mitra, commissioner, Municipal Corporation Chandigarh said the Ministry of Jal Shakti has declared the fourth National Water Award in 2022. This was the first time Chandigarh participated in the competition.
She said national water awards were launched in 2007 with an objective to encourage all stakeholders including the non-governmental organisations, gram panchayats, urban local bodies, and corporate sector, for adopting innovative practices to augment groundwater through rainwater harvesting and artificial recharge.
It also recognises promotion of water-use efficiency, recycling and reuse of water, and awareness through people’s participation in the targeted areas resulting in the sustainability of groundwater resources development, adequate capacity building amongst the stakeholders etc.
Considering the fact that surface and ground water are integral part of the water cycle, it was felt necessary to institute unified national water awards with the objective of encouraging the stakeholders to adopt holistic approach towards water resources conservation and management in the country.
“Municipal Corporation Chandigarh had participated for the first time in the 4th National Water Award in the category of “Best Urban Local Body” for which there was cash award of Rs. two lakh along with a trophy and citation.
