A closing ceremony was organized as part of the project 'LIVE with Water' – a school education program – on November 15, 2021. This project showcased the Dutch-Indian Solutions on wastewater at Barapullah drain in Delhi.
Gracing the occasion, HE Marten van den Berg, Ambassador to The Netherlands in New Delhi, said, "Water is key in the Indo-Dutch collaboration. India has a rich history of water conservation which we need to learn from. We have to change our behavior towards Water and it can only happen if we learn about the issues around it. Given the project's success, an initiative like 'Live with Water' should be carried forward."
Delivering the Special Address at the closing ceremony, Dr Vibha Dhawan, Director General, TERI highlighted, "Children are the most important stakeholders of water conservation and wastewater reuse for not just the present, but the future as well."
The event was attended by more than 277 participants from member schools, both virtually and physically.
