Water is the essence of life, and its judicious management is the need of the hour. The School Scholars program, launched by Dharti International Foundation, is a visionary initiative aimed at empowering school students with critical knowledge about water resource management and planning. Recognizing that education is one of the most effective ways to address water-related challenges, this program focuses on fostering awareness and understanding of the hydrological cycle, surface and groundwater resources, wastewater treatment, soil and water quality management, and drinking water treatment. At the heart of this initiative is the mission to co-create a new generation of scholars who are not only informed but also equipped to apply their knowledge to real-world challenges related to water sustainability. Through the School Scholars program, Dharti International Foundation aspires to inspire young minds to become custodians of water resources, fostering sustainable development and environmental stewardship from the grassroots level. Join us in shaping a future where water education becomes the cornerstone of resilience and sustainability.
