OUR STORY IS THE INITIAL SURVEY FOR STUDENTS

It is an obvious matter that to take any initiative one must have the background knowledge and its need in any particular area. So that’s the initiative will be influential. We try our best to know the background knowledge of our area of interest of Social Action Project through review if exiting literature on the very area and we tried our best to come to know the need of the issue we have raised through the Social Action Project. For that, we have conducted a SURVEY for students through a brief questionnaire. It was the very first activity of our initiative that aimed to evaluate youth’s awareness and willingness to act on water issues, as our Social Action Project is on Water Wise (save water save a life).

Initially, on 27 November 2021, a survey was conducted by team “WATER WISE” through Google Form. The Survey Questionnaire included 15 questions addressing the availability of quantity and quality of Water Resources, Water born diseases, and the attitude of the public towards Water conservation. The total respondents were 50 among them 66% were female and 34% were male.

 Overall responses indicate that individuals are concerned with water availability, issues, and water-born diseases but few of them are giving personal efforts to conserve water. Furthermore, a great percentage of respondents were willing to learn about water issues if they were provided with the opportunity.

The core objective of this survey was to reach the public with water-related information and issues and to change public attitude towards water usage in growing population moreover it aimed to evaluate youth’s awareness and willingness to act on water issues. It was very helpful for us to take further steps in our field because after this survey we were able to know the need of students and the issue they are facing regarding the precious ingredient “water”. The survey was the only way that pushed us towards the fieldwork by providing us the results for which we have conducted it.
