Mann Ki Baat: PM Lauds Uttarakhand Farmer For Reviving Dead Spring

Taking inspiration from the Chipko Movement, a Uttarakhand-based farmer Jagdish Kudiyal has incredibly revived a dead spring by planting saplings. Reportedly, Jagdish hired several labourers to dig pits near the fountain that ultimately revived the spring back to life. Besides, he toiled for around 20 years in recharging the water level, which currently drenches 400 homes in nearby villages. Moreover, PM Narendra Modi also praised Jagdish in his 'Mann Ki Baat’ programme.
