India may be heading for one of the world’s worst national water crises where according to findings of some studies more than 50% of the population has no access to safe drinking water and every year about 200,000 people perish as they have no access to potable water. India is said to have just 4% of the world’s fresh water, but is home to 18% of the global population. Along with its growing population and highly disproportionate and inefficient use of water in agriculture, the overall water availability is running dry. Water scarcity in India is expected to worsen as the overall population is expected to touch 1.6 billion by year 2050.

Hence, to create an awareness among all the stakeholders of the society, Unnat Bharat Abhiyan at IIM Sirmaur is going to conduct a Webinar on “Catch the Rain” on 8th April 2022 at 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm.

UBA Coordinator: Dr. Devika Vashisht (devika.vashisht[at]iimsirmaur[dot]ac[dot]in)
