Bengaluru’s first Cauvery Aarti at Sankey Tank was not only a spiritual tribute to the river but also the launchpad for the Jalave Jeeva campaign. This initiative, led by the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board, aims to set a Guinness World Record for the highest number of water conservation pledges collected in a week starting from March 21 to 28. The campaign highlights sustainable practices like water conservation, rainwater harvesting, and groundwater recharge. By backing such efforts, BAF aims to drive large-scale behavioral change towards sustainable water management in Bengaluru said Satish Mallya, Vice President of BAF. On Monday, we started promoting the campaign on our social media handles, and through the week we will be personally asking apartments through our WhatsApp groups and word of mouth, to spread the message and request their residents to take part in the pledge,” he added.
