United Nations Lends Strong Support For Right To Water

It was a genuine pleasure to see United Nations declaring access to clean water and sanitation as a “Human Right”.

Nobody needs to be an expert or exceptionally rational to know how true it is. Potable water and sanitation are two quintessential components of human civilization. And it is extremely painful that even in the 21st century a huge number of people are deprived of these basic amenities. It is terribly unfortunate, shameful and horrifying, all at one go. It is a disgrace for the global civilization, which takes so much pride in its technological advancement.

Now let’s sincerely wish that all relevant organizations – starting from international bodies to local administrative units – will start addressing the issue with utmost sincerity, doing everything that comes within its range of authority and purview.

Congrats To ISRO For Detecting Water In Moon

The talented space scientists of Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) have done a great service to the world – and have also made India so proud – by finding water in the Moon while conducting their now fabled Moon mission - Chandrayaan-1.

It is certainly one of the most significant scientific achievements in the recent human history. And it is a matter of great joy and pleasure for each and every Indian that our own ISRO has played such a crucial role in it.

ISRO is an organization which has been doing great works from the very beginning of its birth, thereby successfully carrying the legacy of the space science stalwarts like Vikram Sarabhai and Homi Bhabha.

Now the entire nation will eagerly wait for ISRO’s next Moon mission - Chandrayaan-2. And we all know that it will be a grand success, as well.

My heartfelt wishes and advanced congratulations to the ISRO scientists, the precious jewels of the great land named India.
