Jal Jeevan Hariyali Yojana is a much-appreciated concept that takes care of the environment and farmers at the same time. The environment is a precious gift from our mother nature; it is our utmost duty and priority to make every possible move to safeguard it for our well being and our future generation. With the growing population and industrialization, we often take our environment for granted and fail to care for it.
India is an agricultural country where farming is a leading concept. But people are damaging natural sources for the progress, thereby a lot of damage is done to the environment. To improve the deteriorating condition and restore the environment, and adequately use the sources, the Bihar government started this excellent Jal Jeevan Hariyali Yojana initiative, 2020. The scheme focuses on stabilizing the environment-related issues and encouraging environmental protection by promoting tea sampling or plantation.
Initially, the Bihar Government has launched several welfare schemes, but this is the exclusive initiative for protecting the environment. The project is a great message for other states to establish similar strategies and contribute to mother nature and needy farmers. The scheme aims to plant trees and protect nature and is also adamant about assisting the farmers. Under the Jal Jeevan Hariyali Yojana, the state government shall provide for the rainwater irrigation system. The aim is to preserve the trees and ensure that they receive the right amount of water at the right time.
