Applications for 7th National Water Awards open until 28 August

The awards encourage water conservation and recognise effective water-management practices across India.

Practice 1 question ↓
Applications for the 7th National Water Awards were invited through the online process, with 28 August 2026 indicated as the deadline. The National Water Awards recognise individuals, institutions and administrative bodies for notable work in water conservation and management. For Haryana, the subject has added relevance because the state faces declining groundwater in several blocks as well as waterlogging and salinity in other areas. HSSC candidates should remember the edition number and the application deadline and connect the awards with the national objective of promoting efficient, participatory and sustainable use of water resources. The awards are distinct from the Water Secure Haryana programme, although both relate to conservation and responsible water management.
