Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting System Inauguration
|
|
Nonavailability of
water in schools causes several students to return home to drink water, because
of which they skip the rest of their school day, leading to poor learning
outcomes. To improve access to drinking water for schoolchildren, BMW India
Foundation has partnered with S M Sehgal Foundation to implement rooftop rainwater
harvesting-based drinking water systems in five government schools during
FY 2022–23 in districts Nuh and Gurugram, Haryana, impacting over 2,000
students. The harvesting structures were inaugurated by the teams of S M Sehgal
Foundation and BMW team in Kanwarsika school in the presence of school students
and teachers. This partnership till now has benefited 19 schools in rural India. |

practice at S M Sehgal Foundation. A recent interface meeting was conducted for
women participants in the Muzaffarpur district of Bihar. The agenda of the

education and financial sector that would benefit local women, with a particular
focus on advocating girls’ education, credit linkages, and Self-Help Groups. This
