NEW DELHI, JUNE 18: Rohan Singh, a native of Manipur, is embarking on a bicycle journey covering around 5500 Km from Kashmir to Kanyakumari in a bid to raise awareness on the increasing water scarcity in the country. The journey was flagged off from Indoor Stadium, Srinagar, by the Senior Superintendent of Police Dr Haseeb Moughal, and will cover 12 states through the journey that will culminate at Kanyakumari.

His journey is part of Sharda University’s ‘Water For Life’ Campaign which focuses on the identifying the issues leading to scarcity of clean and safe drinking water and other water-related issues affecting livestock, farming, businesses, livelihood, and depleting groundwater levels.

Talking about his journey, Rohan said, “From this expedition, our key objective is to spread awareness regarding water crisis and to find out the reasons for water scarcity in various parts of the country. I am optimistic about my 4th expedition which aims at creating awareness and resolving water-related problems in India.”

Rohan, a postgraduate student at Sharda University, has previously undertaken similar expeditions to raise awareness on themes such as anti-pollution, anti-drugs, and unity in diversity.
