Through this, every drop of rain water will be brought into the ground and the thirst of Mother Earth will be quenched. It is our duty to give “Sujlam Sufalam” to Mother Earth to the coming generation.

Modi said that former Prime Minister Late. Atal Bihari Vajpayee had a vision of linking rivers and a special committee was also formed for it. The plan to link rivers was made but the previous governments kept it unnecessarily entangled. But our government works on the policy of dialogue, not conflict, but cooperation. It is the result of this that today the contract for the Parvati-Kalisindh-Chambal Link Project has been signed. Under the project, Chambal and its tributary rivers Parvati, Kalisindh and Chambal will be linked. This will open new doors of development in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.
PM Modi said that by linking rivers, it is possible to solve both the problems of flood and drought. We understand the importance of water. Water is a paras. Link project will provide sufficient water to both the states for irrigation and drinking water.
