Panel headed by water policy expert Mihir Shah, tasked with updating 2012 National Water Policy, submitted recommendations to Jal Shakti ministry last month.
Research paper, however, finds lowest indebtedness level among Muslims at 12.3% & highest among Hindus at 14.9%. Overall national financial inclusion level at 87.2%, indebtedness at 14.7%.
Fresh details of operation conducted by IAF, Army have come out in gazette notification giving citations of those who were awarded Vir Chakra for their bravery.
On 21 Oct, a buzz went up that the govt had released full list of gallantry award recipients along with Op Sindoor citations. I put an AI caddy on the job. It took me into a never-ending rabbit hole.
This National Water Policy 2020/2021 will also be a flop show. Already it is given in the article that it is up to the states to implement as if this exercise was just done a decadal ritual. And states have their own policies different from another state and national water policy. So, this is bound to fail. Then, Ministry of Jal Shakti consists of time-pass/useless IAS officers who do not know A,B,C,D….of water resources management. They only give talks…..in front of….hapless audiences and try always to prove that they know better than any water expert. Ministry of Jal Shakti seems to be autocratic organization where the orders flow in one direction i.e. top to bottom….and there is no free flow of ideas and no respect for CWC engineers. Unless this situation is corrected, all these exercises of National Water Policy 2020 will fail. Hope government remove IAS officers from Ministry of Jal Shakti and post people like Mihir Shah…through lateral entry…..
