RJ Naved and Government recognised Water Warriors feature in Mirchi Jal Vaani campaign focused on community led conservation
India: Mirchi has launched Mirchi Jal Vaani, a nationwide radio initiative in association with the National Water Mission and the Ministry of Jal Shakti, aimed at promoting responsible water usage and public awareness around conservation.
The campaign is being broadcast across Mirchi radio stations nationwide and centres on the principle of Jal Sanchay, Jan Bhagidari, highlighting the role of community participation in sustainable water management.
The initiative comes at a time when several Indian cities are facing water shortages, irregular supply and rising river pollution. Through structured programming, Mirchi Jal Vaani draws attention to the role of individual behaviour alongside infrastructure and policy measures.
Each episode features Government recognised Water Warriors from different regions of India who have undertaken water conservation efforts within their communities. The segments document practical, local interventions and grassroots participation.
As part of the campaign, Mirchi conducted a public engagement activity in Delhi led by RJ Naved. A deliberately unattended dripping tap was placed in a high footfall area to observe public response. While many passersby ignored it, some individuals intervened to stop the water flow. These participants were later acknowledged as Mirchi Jal Warriors.
The Water Warriors featured in the programme collectively stated, “India’s water situation is a result of years of overuse, pollution and disregard for natural limits. The challenge is not just about availability; it is about awareness and attitude. Governments can create systems and policies, but conservation will only succeed when citizens recognise water as a shared and finite resource. Building that understanding through everyday behaviour is essential if we are to secure water for future generations. When this message reaches people in their daily routines, through a medium as familiar and accessible as radio, it has the power to influence how they think and act. When people start taking responsibility in small, ordinary ways, that is when change becomes real.”
The campaign is further supported by RJ led digital extensions and celebrity participation to widen outreach, particularly in urban areas where consumption patterns and wastage remain key concerns.
