&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;New Delhi, 27th August, 2018: &lt;/em&gt;Shiv Nadar University (a comprehensive, multidisciplinary and research-focused institution) today hosted a National Water Conference at India International Centre to discuss issues related to the water crisis in India and identify the potential solutions to address the problem.&amp;nbsp; The implementation of a new policy paradigm with regards to the principles, approaches and strategies for managing water in India was one of the key issues discussed at the conference. The event was attended by Shri Nitin Gadkari, Hon&amp;rsquo;ble Minister for Water Resources, Government of India as the Chief Guest and high-level policy makers, development &amp;amp; water professionals, researchers, academia and private sector representatives. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Speaking at the conference, Shri Nitin Gadkari said, &amp;ldquo;The issue of water is the biggest problem in the country. Many states face water stress and are also litigating against each other and as a country we&amp;rsquo;ve all been unsuccessful in creating lasting resolutions. It is time that we explore all&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; avenues using technology, to conserve ground water and the government is committed to playing a constructive role in this. We believe that river linking project, could be one of the solutions to the problem that we face. The water storage of rivers also needs to be addressed to reduce flooding and also ensuring that surplus water during monsoons does not get wasted by going into the oceans.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shri Gadkari ended by stating that we need to manage our surface and ground water in a sustainable manner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;tinymce/uploaded/2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;2&quot; width=&quot;299&quot; height=&quot;223&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Speaking at the inaugural session, Dr Mihir Shah, Distinguished Visiting Professor, Shiv Nadar University, said, &amp;ldquo;A holistic and inclusive dialogue has been missing in the context of tackling India&amp;rsquo;s water crisis as we don&amp;rsquo;t have enough people from across sectors talking to each other. Representatives from the government, civil society, academic and most importantly the affected communities need to work together to forge creative solutions through constructive dialogue. This in turn will help create a new policy paradigm - a dedicated programme on participatory and decentralised water management and governance - that is the need of the hour.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Amitabh Kant, CEO Niti Aayog very emphatically stated that communities are the best place entities to manage water and in his opinion a water management system managed in that manner is the need of the day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some of the other speakers at the conference included Shri Amitabh Kant, CEO of Niti Aayog, GoI; Ms Roshni Nadar, Executive Director and CEO, HCL Corporation &amp;amp; Trustee of Shiv Nadar Foundation; Dr Mihir Shah former member Planning Commission and Distinguished Visiting Professor, Shiv Nadar University; Shri RS Julaniya, Additional Chief Secretary, Govt. of Madhya Pradesh; Dr Isher Ahluwalia, Chairperson ICRIER; Dr Rupamanjari Ghosh, Vice Chancellor of Shiv Nadar University; Dr Tushaar Shah, Senior Fellow, International Water Management Institute; Pramathash Ambastha, CEO, Bharat Rural Livelihoods Foundation; Dr. Amarjit Singh, Former Secretary, Ministry of Water Resources, Government of India and Shri K C Naik, Chairman, CGWB.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* How the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana&amp;rsquo;s vision of proving HarKhetkoPani can be achieved in Indian agriculture.&lt;br /&gt;
* Groundwater Management and Challenges of Implementing the Atal BhujalYojana; and&lt;br /&gt;

-Press Release by Shiv Nadar University&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;New Delhi, 27th August, 2018: &lt;/em&gt;Shiv Nadar University (a comprehensive, multidisciplinary and research-focused institution) today hosted a National Water Conference at India International Centre to discuss issues related to the water crisis in India and identify the potential solutions to address the problem.&amp;nbsp; The implementation of a new policy paradigm with regards to the principles, approaches and strategies for managing water in India was one of the key issues discussed at the conference. The event was attended by Shri Nitin Gadkari, Hon&amp;rsquo;ble Minister for Water Resources, Government of India as the Chief Guest and high-level policy makers, development &amp;amp; water professionals, researchers, academia and private sector representatives. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;img src=&quot;tinymce/uploaded/1.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;1&quot; width=&quot;424&quot; height=&quot;282&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Speaking at the conference, Shri Nitin Gadkari said, &amp;ldquo;The issue of water is the biggest problem in the country. Many states face water stress and are also litigating against each other and as a country we&amp;rsquo;ve all been unsuccessful in creating lasting resolutions. It is time that we explore all&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; avenues using technology, to conserve ground water and the government is committed to playing a constructive role in this. We believe that river linking project, could be one of the solutions to the problem that we face. The water storage of rivers also needs to be addressed to reduce flooding and also ensuring that surplus water during monsoons does not get wasted by going into the oceans.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shri Gadkari ended by stating that we need to manage our surface and ground water in a sustainable manner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;tinymce/uploaded/2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;2&quot; width=&quot;299&quot; height=&quot;223&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Speaking at the inaugural session, Dr Mihir Shah, Distinguished Visiting Professor, Shiv Nadar University, said, &amp;ldquo;A holistic and inclusive dialogue has been missing in the context of tackling India&amp;rsquo;s water crisis as we don&amp;rsquo;t have enough people from across sectors talking to each other. Representatives from the government, civil society, academic and most importantly the affected communities need to work together to forge creative solutions through constructive dialogue. This in turn will help create a new policy paradigm - a dedicated programme on participatory and decentralised water management and governance - that is the need of the hour.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Amitabh Kant, CEO Niti Aayog very emphatically stated that communities are the best place entities to manage water and in his opinion a water management system managed in that manner is the need of the day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some of the other speakers at the conference included Shri Amitabh Kant, CEO of Niti Aayog, GoI; Ms Roshni Nadar, Executive Director and CEO, HCL Corporation &amp;amp; Trustee of Shiv Nadar Foundation; Dr Mihir Shah former member Planning Commission and Distinguished Visiting Professor, Shiv Nadar University; Shri RS Julaniya, Additional Chief Secretary, Govt. of Madhya Pradesh; Dr Isher Ahluwalia, Chairperson ICRIER; Dr Rupamanjari Ghosh, Vice Chancellor of Shiv Nadar University; Dr Tushaar Shah, Senior Fellow, International Water Management Institute; Pramathash Ambastha, CEO, Bharat Rural Livelihoods Foundation; Dr. Amarjit Singh, Former Secretary, Ministry of Water Resources, Government of India and Shri K C Naik, Chairman, CGWB.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The conference encouraged discussion around key areas of India&amp;rsquo;s water crisis including: -&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* How the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana&amp;rsquo;s vision of proving HarKhetkoPani can be achieved in Indian agriculture.&lt;br /&gt;
* Groundwater Management and Challenges of Implementing the Atal BhujalYojana; and&lt;br /&gt;
* The Implementation of Mihir Shah Committee Report which demands a robust and shared understanding of the nature and magnitude of the water crisis in India&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Speaking at the conference, Shri Nitin Gadkari said, &amp;ldquo;The issue of water is the biggest problem in the country. Many states face water stress and are also litigating against each other and as a country we&amp;rsquo;ve all been unsuccessful in creating lasting resolutions. It is time that we explore all&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; avenues using technology, to conserve ground water and the government is committed to playing a constructive role in this. We believe that river linking project, could be one of the solutions to the problem that we face. The water storage of rivers also needs to be addressed to reduce flooding and also ensuring that surplus water during monsoons does not get wasted by going into the oceans.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shri Gadkari ended by stating that we need to manage our surface and ground water in a sustainable manner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Speaking at the inaugural session, Dr Mihir Shah, Distinguished Visiting Professor, Shiv Nadar University, said, &amp;ldquo;A holistic and inclusive dialogue has been missing in the context of tackling India&amp;rsquo;s water crisis as we don&amp;rsquo;t have enough people from across sectors talking to each other. Representatives from the government, civil society, academic and most importantly the affected communities need to work together to forge creative solutions through constructive dialogue. This in turn will help create a new policy paradigm - a dedicated programme on participatory and decentralised water management and governance - that is the need of the hour.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Amitabh Kant, CEO Niti Aayog very emphatically stated that communities are the best place entities to manage water and in his opinion a water management system managed in that manner is the need of the day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some of the other speakers at the conference included Shri Amitabh Kant, CEO of Niti Aayog, GoI; Ms Roshni Nadar, Executive Director and CEO, HCL Corporation &amp;amp; Trustee of Shiv Nadar Foundation; Dr Mihir Shah former member Planning Commission and Distinguished Visiting Professor, Shiv Nadar University; Shri RS Julaniya, Additional Chief Secretary, Govt. of Madhya Pradesh; Dr Isher Ahluwalia, Chairperson ICRIER; Dr Rupamanjari Ghosh, Vice Chancellor of Shiv Nadar University; Dr Tushaar Shah, Senior Fellow, International Water Management Institute; Pramathash Ambastha, CEO, Bharat Rural Livelihoods Foundation; Dr. Amarjit Singh, Former Secretary, Ministry of Water Resources, Government of India and Shri K C Naik, Chairman, CGWB.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The conference encouraged discussion around key areas of India&amp;rsquo;s water crisis including: -&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* How the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana&amp;rsquo;s vision of proving HarKhetkoPani can be achieved in Indian agriculture.&lt;br /&gt;

We believe that river linking project, could be one of the solutions to the problem that we face. The water storage of rivers also needs to be addressed to reduce flooding and also ensuring that surplus water during monsoons does not get wasted by going into the oceans.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;

This in turn will help create a new policy paradigm - a dedicated programme on participatory and decentralised water management and governance - that is the need of the hour.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;

-Press Release by Shiv Nadar University&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;New Delhi, 27th August, 2018: &lt;/em&gt;Shiv Nadar University (a comprehensive, multidisciplinary and research-focused institution) today hosted a National Water Conference at India International Centre to discuss issues related to the water crisis in India and identify the potential solutions to address the problem.&amp;nbsp; The implementation of a new policy paradigm with regards to the principles, approaches and strategies for managing water in India was one of the key issues discussed at the conference. The event was attended by Shri Nitin Gadkari, Hon&amp;rsquo;ble Minister for Water Resources, Government of India as the Chief Guest and high-level policy makers, development &amp;amp; water professionals, researchers, academia and private sector representatives. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;img src=&quot;tinymce/uploaded/1.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;1&quot; width=&quot;424&quot; height=&quot;282&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Speaking at the conference, Shri Nitin Gadkari said, &amp;ldquo;The issue of water is the biggest problem in the country. Many states face water stress and are also litigating against each other and as a country we&amp;rsquo;ve all been unsuccessful in creating lasting resolutions. It is time that we explore all&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; avenues using technology, to conserve ground water and the government is committed to playing a constructive role in this. We believe that river linking project, could be one of the solutions to the problem that we face. The water storage of rivers also needs to be addressed to reduce flooding and also ensuring that surplus water during monsoons does not get wasted by going into the oceans.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shri Gadkari ended by stating that we need to manage our surface and ground water in a sustainable manner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;tinymce/uploaded/2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;2&quot; width=&quot;299&quot; height=&quot;223&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Speaking at the inaugural session, Dr Mihir Shah, Distinguished Visiting Professor, Shiv Nadar University, said, &amp;ldquo;A holistic and inclusive dialogue has been missing in the context of tackling India&amp;rsquo;s water crisis as we don&amp;rsquo;t have enough people from across sectors talking to each other. Representatives from the government, civil society, academic and most importantly the affected communities need to work together to forge creative solutions through constructive dialogue. This in turn will help create a new policy paradigm - a dedicated programme on participatory and decentralised water management and governance - that is the need of the hour.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Amitabh Kant, CEO Niti Aayog very emphatically stated that communities are the best place entities to manage water and in his opinion a water management system managed in that manner is the need of the day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some of the other speakers at the conference included Shri Amitabh Kant, CEO of Niti Aayog, GoI; Ms Roshni Nadar, Executive Director and CEO, HCL Corporation &amp;amp; Trustee of Shiv Nadar Foundation; Dr Mihir Shah former member Planning Commission and Distinguished Visiting Professor, Shiv Nadar University; Shri RS Julaniya, Additional Chief Secretary, Govt. of Madhya Pradesh; Dr Isher Ahluwalia, Chairperson ICRIER; Dr Rupamanjari Ghosh, Vice Chancellor of Shiv Nadar University; Dr Tushaar Shah, Senior Fellow, International Water Management Institute; Pramathash Ambastha, CEO, Bharat Rural Livelihoods Foundation; Dr. Amarjit Singh, Former Secretary, Ministry of Water Resources, Government of India and Shri K C Naik, Chairman, CGWB.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The conference encouraged discussion around key areas of India&amp;rsquo;s water crisis including: -&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* How the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana&amp;rsquo;s vision of proving HarKhetkoPani can be achieved in Indian agriculture.&lt;br /&gt;
* Groundwater Management and Challenges of Implementing the Atal BhujalYojana; and&lt;br /&gt;
* The Implementation of Mihir Shah Committee Report which demands a robust and shared understanding of the nature and magnitude of the water crisis in India&lt;br /&gt;
