Age of Change: The Indian school teaching water conservation

Published 2022-08-02
In this episode of Age of Change, we visit the Ganges in India. Providing water to 40% of India’s population, the significance of the River Ganges goes beyond spirituality. A school programme helps children like Prashant and Gaura learn how to protect the Ganges while helping their families become more resourceful with their water usage.

  • Love the Age of Changes series not only show us about the water crisis but also give possible solutions. Love how teachers teach young children, the girl shared things she learned to her father. Young children are keys to change the present and the future
