New Delhi: With various parts of the country witnessing drought, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said a "massive effort" will be launched for water conservation and storage under MNREGA in the next couple of months and urged official youth organisations like NCC to contribute in this.
PM Modi, while reviewing the functioning of official youth organisations, including the NCC, NSS, Bharat Scouts and Guides, Indian Red Cross Society and NYKS here, emphasised the need for better coordination and synergy among these groups.
"Discussing the immediate tasks ahead where these organisations could play an important role, the Prime Minister said that in the next couple of months, there would be a massive effort under MGNREGA for water conservation and storage mechanisms," a PMO statement said.
PM Modi urged these youth organisations to mobilise to the greatest extent possible, to dovetail and contribute to these efforts.
In particular, he mentioned the tasks of 'Swachhta' (cleanliness), creation of open defecation-free clusters, and inculcation of a fresh national spirit among the youth, as key objectives that the youth organisations should strive for.
The prime minister also called for synergy among various initiatives and programmes organized on National Youth Day on January 12, so that a more meaningful impact could be achieved.
