‘Drum Rolls’ for this Pune Strategy

School children in various educational institutes in Pune have started adopting water conservation tactics based on a plan initiated by two well-intentioned entrepreneurs, Vedant Goel and Yusuf Soni. Around 7,000 school children are a part of this project and are helped by their teachers. All they do is save the leftover water from their bottles at the end of the day into huge drums that are kept at schools’ exit points. The collected water is used to clean the school premises and for watering plants and trees.
