Channelling change, Kannur prison saves ₹35L on water bill

IN THE HEART of Kannur, the central prison and correctional home has been channeling a silent revolution.

- JITHUL NARAYANAN @Kannur

And, what began as an effort to cut costs soon metamorphosed into a story of teamwork, innovation, and environmental leadership.

Till 2023-24, the prison used to pay dearly for water use. That fiscal year its water bill came to ₹55.47 lakh. Then, in June 2024, authorities decided that change was in order. They set up a group, comprising jail officials, that conducted a comprehensive study and made changes to the distribution of water and management of well water. The activities of the Haritha Sparsham saw the facility's water bill drop to ₹20.78 lakh in 2024-25, a saving of ₹34.69 lakh over the course of a year.
