Jamshedpur: The residents of Sidhgora will soon launch a campaign to create mass awareness on rainwater harvesting with the help of Jamshedpur Notified Area Committee.
The proposal to start the campaign was put up during mohalla choupal held at the Sidhgora community centre on Friday. Several local residents said they wished to spread awareness among the people regarding rainwater harvesting.
Welcoming the proposal, the JNAC officials said the drive would greatly help conserve rainwater and increase the level of ground water table.
