Kalpana is a crusader in the fight against water scarcity who puts novel ideas and techniques in place to ensure that our future generation and the environment has enough of it to survive and thrive.

“I never imagined I could bring back birds to a lake or tweet from our PMs handle. With a firm resolve, the impossible can emerge. We can bring a change in the communities with collective action on how we manage water resources. Let us become problem solvers,” Kalpana tweeted out from the prime minister’s social media accounts.

She explained how using water responsibly, harvesting rainwater, saving lakes and recycling used water can help in the fight against water scarcity.

Kalpana urged people to be a warrior of a different kind - to be a “water warrior”.

Earlier in the day, the prime minister posted his greetings on the occasion of International Women’s Day and said that he is signing off for the day and let seven women achievers share their life journeys through his social media accounts.

Arifa from Kashmir, Chennai-based Sneha Mohandoss and bomb blast survivor Malvika Iyer were the other women who shared their inspiring stories.
