Youth Voices on Water Crisis at CIMAGE Group of Institutions
Water — we use it every single day, but how often do we actually stop and think about it?
That’s exactly the question Dainik Jagran brought to the students of CIMAGE Group of Institutions, Patna through a special discussion session called “अभिमत: जल संकट पर युवाओं की बात” (Abhimat: Youth Voices on Water Crisis). And honestly? What started as a discussion turned into something much bigger — a real conversation about the future we’re all heading toward.
Because let’s be real: the water crisis isn’t a “someday” problem anymore. It’s happening right now, in our cities, our villages, and even in our own homes.
Why This Discussion Mattered
We’ve all heard the warnings. Groundwater levels dropping. Rivers drying up. Cities running out of water (remember the Chennai water crisis?). But knowing about a problem and doing something about it are two very different things.
That’s why Dainik Jagran chose CIMAGE as the venue to bring young minds together. The idea was simple but powerful — give students a space to talk, share, and think out loud about one of the biggest challenges of our generation.
And our students? They showed up ready.
Students From Every Course Joined In
One of the best things about this session was how mixed the crowd was. Students from across courses came together to share their views:
- BBA students — bringing in management and policy angles
- BCA students — thinking about tech-driven solutions
- B.Com (P) students — focusing on the economic side of water scarcity
- B.Sc IT students — talking about smart water management systems
Every group had a different take, and that’s what made the discussion so rich. It wasn’t just one type of student talking — it was the whole CIMAGE community putting their heads together.
What Students Talked About
The discussion didn’t shy away from the tough stuff. Students openly broke down the real causes of the water crisis, including:
- Rapid urbanization — concrete jungles replacing green spaces that once absorbed rainwater
- Overuse of groundwater — borewells digging deeper every year just to find water
- Climate change — unpredictable monsoons and shifting weather patterns
- Lack of awareness — most people simply don’t know how much water they waste daily
What stood out was that students weren’t just repeating textbook answers. They were connecting the dots between what they see around them and what they read in the news.
Solutions That Actually Make Sense
Here’s where the session really came alive. Instead of just complaining about the problem (which, let’s be honest, is the easy part), students focused on what we can actually do.
Some of the practical solutions they suggested:
- Rainwater harvesting — every building, home, and college should have a system in place
- Cutting down daily water wastage — small habits like turning off the tap while brushing or fixing leaky faucets
- Spreading awareness — using social media, college events, and conversations to wake people up
- Sustainable use of natural resources — thinking long-term, not just for today
The takeaway? You don’t need to be a scientist or a politician to help. Every student, every household, every small action adds up.
Guidance from Dean Dr. Neeraj Poddar
The entire session was held under the guidance of Dean Dr. Neeraj Poddar, whose energy and encouragement kept students engaged throughout. He pushed students to think critically — not just to give “expected” answers, but to really question things and come up with their own ideas.
His message was clear: the youth aren’t the leaders of tomorrow. They’re the leaders of right now. And challenges like the water crisis won’t wait for us to grow up before we start solving them.
Certificates for Every Participant
To celebrate the students’ active participation, certificates were awarded to all participants at the end of the session. It wasn’t just a piece of paper — it was a reminder that their voices matter, their ideas count, and showing up to such discussions is a step toward becoming the kind of citizens our country needs.
More Than Just an Event — A Lesson in Responsibility
At CIMAGE, we believe education isn’t just about textbooks and exams. Sessions like Abhimat help students grow in ways a classroom alone can’t. They build:
- Awareness about the world around them
- Confidence to speak up on issues that matter
- Critical thinking to question and analyze
- Problem-solving skills that work in real life
- A sense of responsibility toward society and the planet
This is what makes CIMAGE different — we want our students to graduate not just with degrees, but with the mindset to actually change things.
The “अभिमत: जल संकट पर युवाओं की बात” discussion at CIMAGE wasn’t just another college event. It was a reminder that when young people are given a platform to think, talk, and act, real change becomes possible.
A huge thank you to Dainik Jagran for choosing CIMAGE for this initiative, and to every student who showed up, spoke up, and reminded us why the future is in good hands.
Water is life — and the youth of CIMAGE are ready to protect it.
