Dear All,
Innovations in technologies related to water have potential to facilitate the aim of ‘Jal Jeevan Mission’ to provide universal coverage of water supply to all households by 2024. With this perspective and to explore feasibility of the alternate water supply/ source options, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), New Delhi is studying the potential of ‘air to water’ technology in making Indian households self-reliant in water availability.
In Varanasi, an air to water generator will be placed in Assi Ghat for 2-3 days and some other prominent locations within the city, followed by the study in some villages within the district. Outcome of the study will be presented to the Ministry of Jal Shakti and Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Government of India.
Smt Mridula Jaiswal, Hon’ble Mayor, Varanasi Nagar Nigam has kindly agreed to inaugurate the event. The inaugural ceremony is scheduled for 24th September 2021 in Assi Ghat at 5 PM.
