Voluntary organisation takes up project to rejuvenate four lakes in Mysuru
The HinduBharatiya Jain Sanghatan, a voluntary organisation, which has taken up a project to rejuvenate four lakes in Mysuru, began work on desilting the lake at Mysuru Pinjrapole Society at Chamundi foothills in Mysuru on Sunday. The Bharatiya Jain Sanghatan had initiated its “Jain Jal Kranthi” project, to ensure not only ensure availability of water, but also fertile silt to nearby farmers from better cultivation of crops. Nearly, 1,200 tractor loads of fertile soil have been excavated by BJS so far, thereby increasing the water storage capacity of the lake,” said a statement from the project co-ordinator Prakash Gulecha. “This desilting process aims to improve the water storage capacity of the lakes, improve groundwater table as well as make available fertile silt to the farmers,” he said.
