During the forum, Chandran presented three key initiatives undertaken in North Tripura, highlighting the district’s efforts towards sustainable water management through community participation and institutional collaboration.
The initiatives included the Uttar Jal Sanchay Yatra, a district-level water conservation programme; rainwater harvesting saturation in Vanghmun, aimed at strengthening community-based rainwater management; and springshed management in the Jampui and Damcherra blocks, implemented with support from CML and Tata Trusts.
The initiatives were highlighted as examples of a convergence-based approach to water conservation, bringing together government institutions, local communities and private-sector partners.
