Bhopal, June 30 (SocialNews.XYZ) Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Tuesday said that water conservation should become a people's movement as he marked the conclusion of the month-long Jal Ganga Conservation Campaign in Rajgarh district.
The Chief Minister visited the Bhainswa Mata temple, where he offered prayers at the sacred Doodh Talaiya and sought prosperity and well-being for the state's people. He also planted a sapling and reviewed the proposed development and beautification plan of the temple complex.
Addressing a gathering, Yadav said the success of environmental initiatives depends on active public participation.
"Water conservation, tree plantation and cleanliness cannot succeed through government efforts alone. They become meaningful only when every citizen joins the campaign," the Chief Minister said.
The Jal Ganga Conservation Campaign was launched by the state government to promote water harvesting, rejuvenation of rivers and ponds, and public awareness about protecting natural resources. The campaign concluded on Tuesday with programmes organised across Madhya Pradesh.
During the Rajgarh event, Yadav distributed tricycles to persons with disabilities and wished them a life of dignity and self-reliance. He also handed over 11 electric vehicles to women associated with Lakhpati Didi self-help groups to strengthen their livelihood opportunities.
The Chief Minister praised the Paryavaran Premi Sanrakshan Samiti of Biaora for manufacturing eco-bricks from plastic waste, describing the initiative as an example of how local communities can contribute to environmental protection.
Referring to the campaign's broader objective, Yadav said, "The Jal Ganga Conservation Campaign has strengthened public awareness about protecting water sources. This spirit of public participation should continue even after the campaign has concluded."
During the event, the Chief Minister was welcomed with traditional tribal dances and cultural performances at the temple premises. Young girls greeted him with a ceremonial kalash in keeping with local customs.
The state government has maintained that conservation of water bodies, plantation drives and community participation will remain central to its environmental agenda beyond the conclusion of the campaign.
