Tricolour to fly again atop 85 Amrit Sarovars in Mysuru district
Zilla Panchayat to organise water conservation programmes to mark 80th Independence Day
To mark India's 80th Independence Day, the Mysuru Zilla Panchayat is organizing a series of events at the 85 Amrit Sarovars developed under the VB-G RAM-G (MGNREGA) scheme. The celebrations will include the hoisting of the national flag by dignitaries, singing of the national anthem, a Tiranga Yatra, and cultural performances by local residents and schoolchildren.
In addition, saplings will be planted at the sites to commemorate the day, and awareness programs on water conservation will be held to educate the rural population about individual and community-level conservation measures. The Zilla Panchayat plans to involve various stakeholders, including elected representatives, schoolchildren, villagers, youth clubs, self-help groups, community organizations, and officials, to make the celebrations more impactful.
With the State grappling with deficient rainfall and declining groundwater levels, the emphasis on water and environmental conservation during the Independence Day celebrations aims to create a meaningful commemoration for those who served and sacrificed for the nation's freedom.
