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.

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...
