In the 130th episode of his popular radio programme Mann Ki Baat, PM Narendra Modi highlighted an inspiring story from Anantapur in Andhra Pradesh, a region long plagued by severe drought and water scarcity. Known for its red, sandy soil and low rainfall, Anantapur has faced chronic water shortages, making daily life and farming a constant challenge for local families.
The Prime Minister praised the collective efforts of the people of Anantapur, who, alongside their local administration, tackled the problem head-on. Through a community-led initiative called the ‘Ananta Neeru Samrakshana Project’, villagers cleaned and restored over 10 water reservoirs, enabling them to hold rainwater and revitalize the local water system.
In addition, residents planted more than 7,000 trees, which not only enhanced greenery but also improved soil health and water retention—crucial during dry seasons. The initiative demonstrated strong community participation and a sense of shared responsibility.
PM Modi shared this story to highlight how ordinary citizens can bring about extraordinary change. He emphasized that small local actions, such as cleaning reservoirs, conserving water, and planting trees, collectively make a significant difference. This model of teamwork and innovation, he suggested, could serve as an example for other drought-prone regions of India. The core message was clear: when communities take responsibility and work together, even severe challenges like water scarcity can be addressed, improving the quality of life for everyone.
