New Delhi, Sep 23 (ANI): A virtual water partnership meeting was organised between India and the United Kingdom on Tuesday to discuss ways to work together on issues pertaining to building better water infrastructure and conservation. The programme was inaugurated by the Indian High Commissioner to UK, Gaitri Issar Kumar with the Ministry of Jal Shakti Secretary UP Singh, in the presence of other senior officials. During the meeting, delegations from India and the UK signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) while having discussions over India's water conservation schemes including the Namami Gange programme, Jal Jeewan Mission, and Swachh Bharat Mission. The session highlighted the strategic partnership between the two countries and their approach to developing better water infrastructure in India. Director General of National Mission for Clean Ganga, Rajiv Ranjan Mishra also spoke about water conservation in his special address. India’s pious river Ganga which is the lifeline for millions of people and a rich and diverse aquatic habitat had lost its character and size owing to an overwhelming discharge of raw pollutants into it. A mission like Namami Gange ensures that not only the rivers are made pollution-free but the entire ecology dependent on it remains protected.
