Prime Minister Narendra Modi mentioned three start-ups during his address: Fluxgen, LivNSense, and KumbhiKagaz. These start-ups have developed pioneering technologies aimed at water conservation.
The Prime Minister highlighted Fluxgen's contribution in the field of water management by utilizing IoT-enabled technologies. This innovative technology enables us to gather valuable insights into water usage patterns, facilitating more efficient and effective utilization of water resources.
LivNSense, an AI and machine learning-based platform, was highlighted by the Prime Minister for its role in enabling effective monitoring of water distribution. Through this platform, wastage of water can be identified, allowing us to determine the specific areas and quantities where water is being wasted.
The Prime Minister mentioned that the third start-up, KumbhiKagaz, has taken on the unique initiative of producing paper from water hyacinth. The PM noted that water hyacinth, which was previously seen as a challenge for water sources, is now being transformed into a valuable resource for paper production.
Prime Minister Modi acknowledged the upcoming challenge and shared that the government is currently constructing 75 Amrit Sarovars in each district across the country. He emphasized the uniqueness of these Amrit Sarovars, as they are being built during the Azadi Ka Amrit Kal (the period commemorating the 75th year of India's independence) and are infused with the collective efforts of the people. The Prime Minister expressed satisfaction in informing that over 50,000 Amrit Sarovars have already been constructed, marking a significant milestone in the realm of water conservation.
