Why India Water Week is big for Arun Lakhani

For Arun Lakhani, Vishwaraj Infrastructure Limited (VIL) chairman and managing director, being a part India Water Week (IWW) is a major responsibility. He sees this as an opportunity to address the many worries related to water like, water consumption, water mismanagement, water waste and water pollution.

The Ministry of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation, National Water Development Agency and Central Water Commission has organised India Water Week (IWW) 2016 from April 4 to April 8, 2016 on the theme Water for all: Striving together. The government has tried to create a platform for extensive forces in the public and private sectors to present ways to create awareness in a multi-disciplinary conference.

In the past, Arun Lakhani has spoken about the importance of adding the 4th P, which is People, in the PPP module. PPP is an excellent model to synergise private efficiency and public oversight. Further, it helps removing inefficiencies through private intervention and investments are better sourced.

In a career, that spans four decades, for a man like Mr Arun Lakhani this means a lot to speak about an issue he cares deeply. Coming from the small village of Malkapur, in Maharashtra, he did his schooling from a Marathi medium school. H would soon complete his degree in B.Sc from Amravati and an M.Tech in petrochemicals. Mr Arun Lakhani has always sought for positive social change.

Realising India’s finite water resources are depleting while the multi-sectoral demands is driving the increased demand for water, VIL has been making inroads to make 24x7 water a reality. As the per capita consumption of water rapidly increases, sewage leaves companies with a possible cost and an opportunity.
