swathes of the country are reeling under drought-like condition, the third 'Raahgiri Day' in this silk city is dedicated to water conservation.
The organisers as well as participants spread awareness on conserving water through a signature campaign, sand art and sloganeering during the event yesterday.
The theme highlighting the need to conserve water assumed significance as Berhampur town sizzled at more than 40 degree Celsius , said E T Rao, Chairman of Sankalpa Boarding School, one of the sponsors of the event.
The signature campaign was a hit with the college students, who thronged the venue in large number. Sand artist Subala Moharana's art also helped pull the crowd.
