Question

Which is the first state in India to have made roof top rainwater harvesting structure compulsory for all the houses across the state

Answer 1

Tamil Nadu was to be first.

Answer 2

Answer:

Tamil Nadu was the first Indian state to mandate roof top rainwater harvesting across the state.

Explanation:

Currently, there is no such compulsion to install rainwater harvesting in any state. But back in 2003, Tamil Nadu had passed an ordinance to mandate rainwater harvesting in every building across the state. However the government and the people have forgotten to even think about that ordinance’s existence today.
