Manohar Khushalani appeared Live, as a Panelist in the Lok Sabha TV Program INSIGHT on, Monday, 18th June 2018 at 1 pm and again at 4 pm. The Discussions was on Niti Ayog’s Report, titled *‘Composite Water Management Index’ (CWMI)*, released by Minister for Water Resources Nitin Gadkari. We had an intense and productive discussion on Issues confronting the nation with respect to the water crisis in India and the world. My Co-panelists were Dr. Sudhendra and Dr. T. Haque. The latter was from Niti Ayog and therefore would carry our views to the think tank and we felt satisfied that our suggestions would be heard. I advise all those interested in water to listen to the YouTube recording of the discussion because it is full of information and will create awareness about issues facing us. As I said in the discussion, unless and until all people and nations come together on this the issue cannot be tackled. But I also say with confidence, that, if we work together on comprehensive water resource management we can conquer the crisis. So please watch this thought-provoking discussion and decide what role you yourself can play in saving the world for yourself and next generation:

This amazing selection of pictures will make us realise how important trees are. 🌴

Watch how these hapless animals try to hide from the sun with whatever shade they can get. Sometimes even the narrow rectangular shadow of, believe it or not, an electric pole is heavenly for living beings.

This is also an exhortation to plant more trees

In Indonesia, banana tree trunks are used for growing veggies. They dont need watering as this contains plenty of moisture. After harvesting, the trunk decomposes and enriches the soil.
Pls share this, let our gardeners / farmers too learn this beautiful and amazing way of saving water.

Some of Africa’s oldest and biggest baobab trees have abruptly died, wholly or in part, in the past decade, according to researchers.

The trees, aged between 1,100 and 2,500 years and in some cases as wide as a bus is long, may have fallen victim to climate change, the team speculated.

Why is it so hot ???

In last 10 years over 10 crore trees were cut for widening roads and highways.

But not more than a lakh trees has been planted by govt. or public.

How to make India cool ???

Please do not wait for government to plant trees.

Sowing seeds or planting trees does not cost much.

Just collect seeds of Shatavari, Bel, Peeple, Tulsi, mango, Lemon, Jamun, Neem, Custard Apple, Jack fruit, etc.

Then dig two-three inch hole on open spaces, roadside, footpaths, highways, gardens and also in your society or bungalow.

Bury these seeds in each hole with soil and then water them every two days in summer.

In rainy season no need to water them.

After 15 to 30 days small plants will be born.

Please nurture them and ensure they grow big.

Let us make this a National movement and plant 10 crore trees all over India.

We should stop temperature from crossing 50 degrees…..

Please plant maximum trees and forward the link of this message to everyone. Lets distribute saplings as return gifts during functions, birthdays etc.
