To address the problem of water shortage in the villages, the Tseminyu Sub- Divisional Planning & Development Board has taken a novel decision to conserve rain water by declaring 2016 as the ‘Year of rain water conservation under Tseminyu Sub Division of Kohima district.
This matter was proposed by Parliamentary Secretary for PWD (Housing), Er. Levi Rengma and approved by Tseminyu SDPDB monthly meeting here today.
He said due to deforestation and habitation, water scarcity has been reported across the state, for which rain water conservation is necessitated.
Er. Levi said this rain water conservation initiative will be taken up through Local Area Development Programme (LADP) as well as convergence of agri & allied departments to ensure construction of large scale rain water harvesting pond in different parts of Tseminyu Sub Division to serve well its purpose.
Er. Levi said the first phase will cover Tseminyu, Tesophenyu, Nsunu and Kandi ranges while the second phase would cover PKR, Tsongi and Kasha ranges.
To carry forward this concept, he asked Tseminyu ADC Vikhweno M. Meratsii to constitute a Sub- Divisional Committee on rain water conservation.
He also appealed to the concerned officers and also the general public to take active interest and make it beneficial for future generation.
In today’s meeting, Tseminyu SDPDB also recommended creation of Sub-Centre at New Sendenyu village and grant- in- aid to Jireh School, Chunlikha. The LADP Verification Committee also shared their reports.
