According to the latest reports, the world is facing its worst-ever water crisis.
Earth is our only home, but we don’t take it seriously. It’s a very precious gift to all of us from God, and we need to take care of it. Almost 844 million people lacking access to clean water. One of the main problems that cause this is water pollution. Luckily, there are some true heroes like Ramveer Tanwar from India, who just don’t believe in criticizing the issue but want to change the problem.
We share the story of this Indian young man, who wanted to help his village and his people and has done a great job.
26-year old Ramveer Tanwar realized that the lakes and ponds, where he played with his friends in his childhood, had started to disappear. A lot of wetlands were polluted and had become dumping areas instead. One day, he decided to change this situation and educate people about the importance of having clean water.
It wasn’t easy to persuade the villagers at first.
Ramveer has started giving lessons to children from his village and they also felt that they had to do something about their dying water resources. Ramveer told the students to warn their parents about the existing problem with water pollution and water conservation. Sadly, this didn’t work, since the villagers refused to believe that they could ever run out of water.
After this Ramveer decided that he had to do this on his own. So he went from house to house, to explain the issue of the depleting water resources to them.
He also told the students to gather their parents together every Sunday in a special place, to discuss methods for water conservation. Finally, it started to happen, and the villagers started to realize the problem they were facing.
His effort was recognized by the authorities, and the meetings were officially named “Jal Chaupals.”
In 2015, Ramveer and his team of volunteers, along with his students, and their parents removed all the garbage from this pond. They clean it, and also planted young trees around it. Later on, they invited the local administration to come and see its glorious restoration. The good news spread quickly and people from other villages and districts came to meet Ramveer to ask for help with the restoration of their local lakes.
Ramveer wanted to continue his work to preserve water in India and has had to wear many hats in this effort. The government of his state helped him and set up something called “Groundwater Army” organizations in each district of Ramveer’s state, and the young hero is now the coordinator of his district.
