Speaking at the 'Dalmia Pani Paryavaran' award ceremony in Jhunjhunu district, Alva laid emphasis on rain water harvesting and motivated people to take self initiative instead of being dependent on government only.
She said that women have to go to distant places from their houses to fetch water and this arrangement will have to be changed so as to ensure justice with them.
