To instil the values of better water conservation and hygiene in the national conscience, Network18 and Harpic India on Tuesday started the Mission Paani Waterthon.
Inspiring the nation into action, the marathon is set to feature notable individuals like Lt Col SG Dalvi, who has spearheaded a new movement to conserve rainwater, or Amla Ruia, who works to combat water shortage across India. Also in attendance would be remarkable young activists, like Licipriya Kanjugam, one of the youngest climate activists in the world, and Naina Lal Kidwai, a banking veteran who now works to alleviate India’s water crisis.
