Lets promote and implement Rain water harvesting

Was listening to FM 106.4 Gyan Vani in radio today. I was stunned to know the following facts.

1. Out of the the total available water on earth, only 1% is pure and we are using.
2. We are using ground water (Wells and bore wells) 10 times more than the actual amount which it should be used.
3. After Rajastan, Karnataka is the second state which has highest amount of dry land in India. There is too much of scarcity for water in Most of the parts of Karnataka (esp. Northern parts.) People pay Rs.10 for one can of water.
4. We will be running out of river water as well as ground water from wells and bore wells in few years.
5. No company in India sells Mineral water. They are just selling Drinking water. It cannot be termed Mineral water. If any company is selling water under the name of Mineral water, it is a crime. And they mentioned that actual Mineral water will cost Rs.40 per liter.
6. According to Indian constitution drinking its a fundamental right to have drinking water. It is the duty of every government to provide drinking water. http://www.righttowater.info/pdfs/india_cs.pdf So selling of bottled drinking water should be banned. Water is the essence of life. Hence, any denial of water implies a denial of right to life. The right to water is not enshrined in the Indian Constitution as an explicit Fundamental Right but the Indian Judiciary, both at the state as well as at the center, has in several judgments interpreted Article 21 of the Constitution to include a right to clean and sufficient water, a right to a decent life, a right to live with dignity, and a right to a humane and healthy environment which would certainly imply a right to water.

Will Gandhigiri work with Bullies?

I was shocked to hear in the documentary “Partition: The Day India Burned” that British left India because it was economically in a very bad condition after the World War II. But as Kids we were taught in school that India got independence because of Gandhi’s Nonviolence movement or Quit India movement. But 99.99% of the Indians today do not know the truth.  Why did British really leave India?  The answer is, it is because of several other reasons other than the Nonviolence or Quit India or Satyagraha.  If you search around the net for the reason why India got it independence, you will get the actual factors.  These thoughts came to me after I read latest post in Francois Gautier’s blog article “HINDI-CHINI BYE-BYE” which has the following Lines One should be realistic and learn from Swami Rama Thirtha, a great sage of the beginning of the century :”The policy of appeasement is never successful. It increases the demands of the bully and encourages his unreasonablen

Pradhan Mantri Vaya Vandana Yojana (PMVVY) pension scheme

Just came across this article in Economic times  https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/wealth/invest/hurry-this-lic-pension-scheme-that-can-provide-rs-10000-a-month-will-end-march-31/articleshow/74209003.cms A simple google search, I found out these facts about Pradhan Mantri Vaya Vandana Yojana. Turns out this scheme is a wonderful pension plan for people above 60+ age Minimum investment = 1.5 lakh. monthly pension = Rs. 1,000 ** Maximum investment = 15 lakh  monthly pension = Rs15,000 ** Mimimum age of applicant = 60 years Maximum age of applicant = Nil The investment amount will be returned after 10 years to the investor or Nominee. Bad news: As per the above economic times article, this scheme is not getting extended after 31st March 2020. So hurry up and inform all retired people you know to invest in this plan. BTW. it yields 8% per year. Which I think is the highest in current scenario. This scheme can be bought either online or offline. Discliamer: 1. All abo
