Water is the nectar of the phenomena called life, given to us as a blessing from Mother Nature.
When all the spaces missions from earth go in search of extra-terrestrial life or even possibility of life, on a natural satellite or a planet or an exoplanet, what they search for is Water. Because where there is Water, life would be possible in some form or the other. From tiniest of single-celled microbes to giant dinosaurs, nothing can survive in absence of Water.
Thus, if we plan a career in Water domain, an enterprise in Water domain – it would be recession proof.
In this session, Mr. Madhukar Swayambhu, A Water Hero Awardee, A TEDx speaker, Recognized as Global Top 3 Author on Water by Smart Water Magazine (Spain), will explain about the horizons of “Waterpreneurship”.
Nature-based solution (NbS) for 'Rejuvenation of Wetlands and Water Bodies' was held on May 18, 2023 (Thursday), hosted by World Bank office in New Delhi.
Chaired by Maninder S. Gill, Global Director and Chief Environment and Social Standards, The World Bank
Opening Remarks by Christophe Crepin, Practice Manager, ENB, SAR, The World Bank Presented by Ashish Singh & Madhukar Swayambhu

The latest United Nations World Water Development Report, released just ahead of World Water Day on March 22, warns that, by 2030, at the current rate of use, 40 percent of the population across the world will not have access to the water it needs.
For South Asia, a water crisis looms for more than 270 million people as glaciers shrink and ground water reserves recede at an alarming rate. Amongst the available water sources in the region. It is estimated that between 68 to 84 percent of water bodies are polluted. South Asia is one of the world's water stressed hotspots and as a region with growing development ambition requires increasing action in climate adaptation that embeds local, national, and regional water management solutions that are economically, environmentally and socially sound.
The webinar focused upon the technique and results of using a Nature based Solution (NbS) developed in India. for "resurrection and rejuvenation of the waterbodies". This sustainable, holistic and scientific approach of "consume and digest" the nutrient overload enables restoration of all the ecosystem services that a water body is meant to offer.
A low-cost technique is an optimal solution to deal with water stress / mismanagement issues and offers several benefits for projects in the Water, Urban, Aquaculture, Agriculture, Disaster Management, Tourism, and Environment Remediation sectors.
The presentation showcased results from projects undertaken in India and the deliberated upon exploring how the nature's self-healing mechanism and traditional knowledge systems could be harnessed for creating a triple bottom line (economic, environment, and social).
This podcast is the excerpts of the same webinar, but as it was a long session being attended by members of the World Bank from across the globe, multiple countries, multi time zones and continents, the entire session is divided into four episodes.

The Associated Chamber of Commerce & Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) in collaboration with ODISHA State Pollution Control Board (OSPCB), Government of Odisha held a stirring gathering in Bhubaneswar on September 30th 2022, 0930 hrs, at Hotel Hindustan International (HHI), to commemorate "The Industrial Decarbonization Summit 2022 – A Roadmap to Net Zero 2030”.
The Summit consciously focused upon and addressed a wide range of research topics, including, but not limited to, decarbonization, managing climate change, policy issues, and sustainability. Due to the urgent need for academics, researchers, regulatory bodies, policymakers, industry, business, concerned government departments, and the general public to exchange knowledge and expertise regarding the climate in order to learn from one another and find cutting-edge technologies/best practices.
This podcast episode is based on some excerpts from the same summit.
ASSOCHAM, the premier industrial chamber with 4.5 lac members, has been serving the nation since 1920. ASSOCHAM's aim is to empower Indian businesses by instilling knowledge that will serve as a catalyst for growth in the barrier-free, technology-driven global market, assisting them to upscale, align, and emerge as strong players in their respective business areas. ASSOCHAM has been working with industry members on several projects, being committed to enhancing the business ecosystem in order to establish a stronger nation.
Decarbonizing the industrial sector, which currently accounts for 30% of all domestic GHG emissions, is a critical component to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Delivering a sustainable energy system for the future will require collaboration and action from across the energy, business, and government ecosystems. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an immediate industrial decarbonization including advancement in GHG reduction by transitioning to low carbon or zero carbon energy system.
With this fact as the key context, The Associated Chamber of Commerce & Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) in collaboration with State Pollution Control Board (SPCB), Government of Odisha held a stirring gathering in Bhubaneswar on September 30th 2022, 0930 hrs, at Hotel Hindustan International (HHI), to commemorate "The Industrial Decarbonization Summit 2022 – A Roadmap to Net Zero 2030”.
All eminent personalities from across the nation from academia, administration, policy makers, industry associates, environmentalists, journalists, inventors, innovators and startups were invited in the forum for spreading a vision of a low carbon future throughout the country in order to spur action, inspire change, and amp up a range of key perspectives in the race to reach net-zero emissions.
The Summit consciously focused upon and addressed a wide range of research topics, including, but not limited to, decarbonization, managing climate change, policy issues, and sustainability. Due to the urgent need for academics, researchers, regulatory bodies, policymakers, industry, business, concerned government departments, and the general public to exchange knowledge and expertise regarding the climate in order to learn from one another and find cutting-edge technologies/best practices.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is social face of any corporate, which is now being implemented as a mandate from Government of India, pushing the corporates to put in 2% of their annual profitability back in to social ventures for the betterment and sustainable development of the under-developed or under-privileged strata of the society around the corporates. Through CSR programs, philanthropy, and volunteer efforts, businesses can benefit society while boosting their brands.
Companies that adopt CSR programs have often grown their business to the point where they can give back to society, e.g., the government mandate starts for the organizations reporting an annual profit upwards of ₹ 100 Crores. Thus, CSR or CER (Corporate Environmental Responsibility) is typically a strategy that's implemented by large corporations for the good of Society or Environment respectively. After all, the more visible and successful a corporation is, the more responsibility it has to set standards of ethical behavior for its peers, competition, and industry.
