Members of the organizations will conduct environment-based programmes and spread awareness among villagers regarding saving the environment and water," he said.As per the release the Jal Samitis will educate people about the diseases caused by contaminated water and methods of prevention, as well as raise awareness about techniques to conserve rainwater, he said.Jal-Shakti Minister Swatantra Dev Singh said, "The Yogi government does not only pay attention to the present but is equally concerned about the future. The campaign bears testimony to this."

Under the 'Har-Ghar-Jal' scheme, each beneficiary will now be provided with a sapling along with a tap water connection in the state.These saplings will be planted by officials and employees of the Namami Gange and Rural Water Supply departments outside the homes of households receiving tap connections, on overhead tanks, at pump houses and at water treatment plants.Uttar Pradesh has provided the maximum tap connections under the 'Jal Samitis' scheme among all states in the country.
