Sector -62, NOIDA- 201309
The year 2013 has been declared as International
Year of Water Cooperation by UNO. As part of this
initiative, Vigyan Prasar is planning to undertake
action oriented activities on theme “Water” involving
all VIPNET clubs. The details of the same have
already been published in the January issue of
VIPNET News. The activities will be organized in a
campaign mode entitled “Manage to Save Water.”
Depending upon the duration, water related activities
can be categorized as short term, medium term and
long term activities. (Please see Tables).
The short term activities may be organized for a
duration of 2-3 days including observance of
important national and international days relating to
water. Activities like different competitions, visit to
water bodies, lectures, film shows, discussions and
taking out rallies involving club members, children
of schools and general public can be part of such
programmes. Each club needs to undertake minimum
5 activities during the campaign period.
The medium term project involves conducting
some experiments to know the various aspects of
water circle, hydrology of your area, testing of water
quality, how human activities are polluting water
bodies etc. All these are to be done to understand
importance of water to work out a plan either to
conserve water or preservation of water bodies.
The duration of medium term project may ranges
between 2 week to 4 weeks. Minimum two activities
need to be undertaken by the clubs.
The long term project involves the action oriented
activities which includes mobilization of local
population and to create awareness on issues relating
to water for bringing an attitudinal change in the
usage of water.
The activities may also include restoration of
water storing tanks/water bodies of your area and
