Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated on Thursday that it was everyone’s duty to make water a topic of collaboration, coordination, and cooperation between states despite the fact that the Constitution places the control of water under the states.

Through a video message, Prime Minister Modi addressed the first All India Annual State Ministers’ Conference on Water, stating that “the states’ efforts for water conservation will go a long way in achieving the common goals of the country.”

The Prime Minister’s remarks at the two-day conference assume significance in view of the inter-state water disputes between several states.

All of the states and Union Territories’ ministers in charge of irrigation, the public health engineering department (PHED), and water resources are attending the meeting. The conference’s theme, “Water Vision @ 2047,” is being held in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.

According to him, “Water Vision @ 2047” is a crucial aspect of “Amrit Kaal’s” journey over the next 25 years. The prime minister also recommended that the states use the Namami Gange Mission as a model and launch comparable initiatives for river conservation.

He reaffirmed his belief that the “whole of government” and “whole of country” should function as a single, interconnected system, with regular communication and interaction between the various state government departments in charge of things like water, irrigation, agriculture, rural and urban development, and disaster management.
