SVARNIM Puducherry is taking many steps to alert and caution people about this resource.  Now, we are turning our attention towards educating children who are the future generations on the importance of water.

The water literacy programme is a series of lectures and activities for school children to create awareness on water, its harvesting and sustainable use.  Its motive is to make children aware of how water is important in day-to-day life and how important it is to protect water from being polluted.
