IIT ISM Empowers Jharkhand Villages with Water Tech

Environmental training programs are currently underway in Jharkhand's Pandar Kanari South Panchayat, organized by the EIACP Programme Centre of IIT (ISM). These sessions, running until December 1st, aim to bridge scientific knowledge with local requirements, empowering communities to manage resources sustainably.

The initiative highlights the necessity of water conservation for rural Jharkhand, emphasizing how understanding water systems can bolster village sanitation and resource planning. Practical learning is central, with participants engaging directly with system components and relating concepts to their daily lives.

Training modules cover low-cost rainwater harvesting for families and farmer groups, alongside simplified wastewater treatment processes for panchayat members and volunteers. The program also includes site visits to functional systems at IIT (ISM) and a local treatment plant.
