sharing with our neighbouring state of Tamil Nadu. With changing rainfall
patterns in the coming years, one can only expect more such bundhs and protests.</span><span face=""Verdana",sans-serif" style="background: white; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI";"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

I have
also been learning something called as "Water crisis" from my primary
school days which is now under a wider umbrella called “Climate Change” </span><span face=""Verdana",sans-serif" style="background: white; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI";"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Staple diet for most people in Karnataka has slowly moved from Ragi and other
millets to Rice (and of course processed foods). More area has come under
sugarcane cultivation over the last 30 years. People are buying more food, more
clothing and travelling much more. In general, the standard of living has
increased multiple fold (It is another debate if that is good or bad).</span><span face=""Verdana",sans-serif" style="background: white; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI";"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

more or less constant notwithstanding climate change.</span><span face=""Verdana",sans-serif" style="background: white; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI";"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

dispassionate look at the water endowment for our country, its consumption and
its distribution. </span><span face=""Verdana",sans-serif" style="background: white; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI";"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

for domestic water supply schemes and housing colonies is what is called ‘LPCD’
or Liters per capita per day. That is the water required for a person for one
day. In India, we peg this number to 135 Liters. </span><span face=""Verdana",sans-serif" style="background: white; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI";"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

‘135’, it is the water required per person per day. This is also a legal right
of every citizen in India. The breakup of this 135 is given below;</span><span face=""Verdana",sans-serif" style="background: white; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI";"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">The reason I did this calculation is to drive home the
point that we have to look at the larger picture about water conservation than
merely looking at taking a bath in half a bucket of water or switching off the
tap while brushing, though these are very much required.</span></p>

water only reduces the direct demand. With best efforts, we may be able to
bring our domestic demand from 135 to 100 LPCD. In the larger scheme of things,
it translates to about 1.8% which is no doubt significant.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

supply calculations for an effective paradigm in sustainable and equitable
water distribution. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span face=""Verdana",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Addressing the indirect component of water footprint,
we can significantly reduce water consumption and also augment the direct water
availability in India. More water available for direct consumption will result
in better health and hygiene. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

direct or indirect consumption. India’s endowment in terms of rainfall is more
or less fixed and it is more or less consistent at 1600 billion cubic meters

not.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

population is growing. We will need to feed more mouths with less water.
Rainfall was 1600 billion cubic meters in 1930 when the population of India

right of 135 LPCD is neither achieved nor measured. Even in most urban areas we
do not have a supply of 135 LPCD.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

one can be very certain that there is a huge disparity in consumption. In urban
places, our water footprint is about 3000 LPCD. To reduce this gap and to be
more equitable, reduction in consumption and increasing efficiency is
inevitable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

In the context of India, water availability for panel cleaning poses a
challenge. More so, in case of Overhead PV, Water will be required to be
delivered under high pressure to reach the height. This requires heavy duty
pumps and water availability in the aquifers. [In states like Karnataka where
power is free for agricultural use, accounting for this power poses a
challenge]. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

particularly in deep confined aquifers , the water quality is a serious
challenge . Water from deep aquifers will be generally hard and may not be suitable
for panel cleaning. Using hard water for panel cleaning will lead to scaling on
the glass leading to degradation. It may be the same case in other parts of
India. </span></span></p><h1 style="margin-left: 54pt; text-align: left; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;">Solutions and opportunities </span></span></h1></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">While experiments on overhead PV must continue, Cultivation below low

Agri-PV is a good concept which can ease the pressure on the <br />land. It is
expected that by 2050, half the population of the world would be living in

all the discussion papers issued on this subject so far has pointed out that
off take of solar Projects are rather low in the residential /Small scale

<h1><span lang="EN-GB">Solar rooftop net-metering systems with Battery Storage

proposed discussion paper has suggested allowing battery energy storage systems
only for grid-connected solar rooftop systems that are above 1000 KW and below
2000 KW, which would effectively exclude residential consumers from installing
grid-connected solar rooftop battery storage systems.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">However,
this proposal should be reconsidered due to the numerous advantages of allowing
residential consumers to install grid-connected solar rooftop battery storage
systems. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Firstly,
battery storage systems would allow households to store excess solar energy
generated during the day and use it during power cuts, reducing their reliance
on the grid and lowering their electricity bills. Secondly, this would also
help in reducing the load on the grid, resulting in a more stable and efficient
electricity supply. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Energy
storage is gaining momentum world over and policies must encourage energy
storage across any consumer/producer. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

energy storage systems through batteries, <b>by residential</b>, commercial or
industrial consumers, to store energy generated from renewable energy, has
potential to improve power quality and reliability for such consumers”. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Yet,

<h1><span lang="EN-GB">Grid Interactive Support Charges or Grid Support Charges

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;">The
commission proposes to levy Grid support charges for all the new prosumers. The
commission has proposed GSC to recover the cost of transmission infrastructure.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">While
it is to be acknowledged that the ESCOMS have invested in the grid infrastructure,
I request the commission to look at recovering this cost through the feed in
tariff or through the fixed cost which is levied even now for prosumers
availing net metering.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">ESCOMS
are currently levying fixed cost for every KW of sanctioned load notwithstanding
net metering. This cost should cover some portion of the grid infrastructure
cost if not all. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">A
battery storage system with solar present unique technical challenges in terms
of measuring total solar generation for the purposes of levying grid interactive
support charges as proposed by the commission. The solar power generated by the
panels is stored in the batteries in DC form and is eventually converted to AC
power by the inverter for distribution to various loads.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">To
accurately measure the total solar generation for the purposes of levying grid
interactive support charges, approved DC meters need to be installed next to
batteries. But there are no DC meters that are approved by the energy supply
companies. Also, the batteries are installed inside the building which is
inaccessible to ESCOM meter readers. This poses a significant challenge in
measuring the total solar generation accurately by energy supply companies.
This would completely disallow any consumer from going solar on-grid systems
with the batteries.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

for applying, installing and commissioning of SRTPV projects. </span></li><li><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">There is a need for a new paradigm for arriving at
feed in tariff. Year after year the same process is followed. But we haven’t
seen the desired results (As mentioned in the present discussion paper). A
simpler approach is most welcome where the honourable KERC can decide on what
price can be paid incorporating past performances, prevailing circumstances and
market conditions. </span></li><li><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Market prices for energy sold by prosumers will
encourage more consumers to install solar. </span></li><li><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Working backwards with an assumption on Plant cost
may not be the best way. There is a plethora of technologies with varying
commercial, financial and technical ramifications. Assuming lowest cost of the
plant to determine the IRR may not be the best way. It also discourages the
consumers from opting for the best quality. </span></li></ol><p></p>

Have a White Roof:</b> When sunlight falls on the dark surface like a rooftop, it warms the surface heating the building below. On the other hand, when sunlight falls on a white surface, much of it is reflected back through the atmosphere. So it is not converted into heat. Technically, white surfaces have a higher degree of solar reflectance and emittance. </span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Painting the Roof White is <b>Simple, cheap, and Doable.<br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Advantages of White roofs are </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxW6UfwedtQ2T4QxfpkD7xCd0vGZVs_npdXP1xFrKbjucmNGvpeMsQHYkslw4T5UPlZwlau-zJ3IX5eL4qzNnnXtv0RLpfhHppkC7J_sponOBg9tQP-A5gW0WOnr2W78G1Z5pG-6bD5oY/s2048/IMG_20200609_163230__01__01.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1269" data-original-width="2048" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxW6UfwedtQ2T4QxfpkD7xCd0vGZVs_npdXP1xFrKbjucmNGvpeMsQHYkslw4T5UPlZwlau-zJ3IX5eL4qzNnnXtv0RLpfhHppkC7J_sponOBg9tQP-A5gW0WOnr2W78G1Z5pG-6bD5oY/w356-h220/IMG_20200609_163230__01__01.jpg" width="356" /></span></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">1. Reduces the energy consumption inside the building. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">2. Increases the Life of the roof. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">3. Increases the rainwater runoff from the roofs. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">4. Reflected Light increases what is called Albedo, slightly increasing the energy input into the solar panels (If present). </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">5. Drastically reduces the conversion of light to heat. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>2. Make your Bio-Enzyme:</b> The vim bars and the rin bars that we use daily are some of the reasons for the poor quality of our water bodies. Frothing in the lake, eutrophication of lakes is because of the heavy chemical discharges into the lakes. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Preventing Industrial effluents and domestic sewage from entering our water bodies may be difficult at the individual level. But one can start from his or her home. Switching to organic locally made soaps and detergents or even better making your own Bio-Enzyme is one of the best ways to stop chemical effluents from entering the water bodies. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">I will not go into details on how to prepare Bio-Enzymes here. It is pretty easy. Hundreds of videos are available on YouTube on how one can make Bio-Enzymes. Making Bio-enzymes at home also reduces the wet waste that one generates and aids in the circular economy. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Making bio-enzyme is a little time taking and demands some commitment. But it is a wonder material for one's own health and the environment's health. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>3. One tree per Person per year: </b>In my last post, I mentioned having few plants at home. The natural extension is to graduate to a tree. It is said that one person needs seven trees to provide him with adequate oxygen for his living. So it becomes our natural duty to Plant and nurture trees for our own well-being and the well-being of our children. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">A simple way to care for the trees is for everyone to plant at least one tree per year. Many of us may not have or may not find space for planting a tree. We can first start by planting trees on the roadside. Next is the neighbuorhood. One may not find any space anywhere. In that case, a good idea is either to buy or make seed balls and throw them on every patch of soil. The success rate of even 1% is good. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Many towns have tree clubs that are mostly into organized tree planting. Weekly or monthly programs are organized where volunteers plant hundreds of trees. One can volunteer there or contribute to the cause. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">A small word of caution here. Post pandemic, I have seen many over-enthusiastic folks planting trees on the roadside without any cognizance of the tree species. One must plant native, 'slow-growing trees' that have deep roots and solid girth. So-called fast-growing trees are more a problem than a solution in the long run. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDCxq51uUVmVaD7vcA0t-6FP9iMgqYZe80c-TYvHZfVegY6sFrwi4ZeSRvMxMyFen5oFkgwk2QX7uHEUiaEBTwya41ztMiBSsPSg-tBvfakWplAls0RXGgIIbtRmMbCI2lcDhSDVGntEw/s2048/IMG_20211016_180709__01.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1296" height="374" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDCxq51uUVmVaD7vcA0t-6FP9iMgqYZe80c-TYvHZfVegY6sFrwi4ZeSRvMxMyFen5oFkgwk2QX7uHEUiaEBTwya41ztMiBSsPSg-tBvfakWplAls0RXGgIIbtRmMbCI2lcDhSDVGntEw/w237-h374/IMG_20211016_180709__01.jpg" width="237" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>4. Conserve Rainwater: </b>In my last post, I mentioned the true cost of water and the true energy footprint of water. To reiterate, Sourcing, pumping, filtering, and conveying water is one of the most energy-guzzling and polluting infrastructure activities in the urban scenario. For political reasons, the true cost of this process is never discussed in the public domain. </span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">So any environment-conscious individual must conserve as much water as possible and augment as must water as possible locally. On the demand side of the water, one must become more efficient by having aerators, water meters, etc. On the Supply-side, harvesting rainwater is one of the simplest ways. In my next post, I will talk more bout rainwater harvesting. Here, it suffices to say that one can start small, as small as keeping the bucket in the rain to save a few drops of water. The joy and the pleasure of harvesting cloud juice will naturally encourage and inspire him or her to take more proactive steps in conserving rainwater. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>5. Stop Using RO water: </b>RO or reverse osmosis is an energy-guzzling and water-wasting process of filtering water. RO is generally used to filter rather; soften the hard water. RO process does not eliminate any bacteriological contamination in the water. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Wasting water is criminal and RO does exactly that. RO does not just consume excess energy to waste precious water, it also eliminates some of the useful minerals in the water that are very must essential for the human body. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Before getting into the alternatives for RO, let us first see if we need a RO in the first place at all. If the source of drinking water is river water or shallow aquifer water or tap water through the municipality, it will have hardness much below permissible limits and does not require RO filtration. One can use a simple UV filter (Water passes through the ultraviolet light that destroys micro-organisms) and be done with so-called Filtration. If one is not sure about the source of water, one can get the water tested (Or buy a TDS meter Which costs about 400 rupees) for hardness and then decide on filtration. {It is important not to be carried away by marketing gimmicks of water purifier companies.} </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">RO must be used for filtering water above a TDS (Total dissolved solids) of 800 PPM. For lesser than 800, UF or Ultrafiltration is good enough to treat the TDS. UF does not use electricity or waste any water to treat TDS. (The video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yR8X1RBTjbM" target="_blank">here</a> gives some information on different water filtering technologies<span style="text-align: left;">)</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Recently, something called AWG or atmospheric water generators have come into the market. These use the humidity in the atmosphere, condense it to make it into potable water. These are good options in coastal areas. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>6. Switch to Solar water heaters: </b>Solar water heaters are the best alternative to energy-consuming water heaters. Particularly for a tropical country like India, it makes a lot of environmental and economical sense to use a solar water heater than an electrically powered geyser. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>7. Demand Action: </b>Apart from making changes in one's lifestyle and taking actions at the individual level, one must start by demanding action from political and "religious" leaders on environmental matters. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">As a start, one can start by meeting the local politicians on the issue of tree cover, on the issue of rainwater wastage from streets, on the issue of waste management. Problems solved as locally as possible are good for the government as well as the environment. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">I shall conclude this second part of the toolkit by reiterating again that the most important and most powerful proactive action that one can take is <b>to simply consume less</b>. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">In the next and final part of the toolkit, I shall dwell on the next set of actions that involve some serious lifestyle compromises, a bit of time and financial investment, and a little more commitment towards the environment. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"> </span></p>M.S.Sunilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06814128097970392535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579817962366190384.post-32682574672503785402021-10-09T09:53:00.004-07:002021-10-09T09:59:40.285-07:00Environment Action ; Basic Toolkit <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">I have been working in the area of environment for over 15 years now. Barring a couple of years where I was an activist, most of my career,I have been on the field designing and executing water conservation and solar energy projects. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">In the course of the last 15 years, I have met thousands of people and had hundreds of discussions on the environment. I have also attended countless seminars and workshops <b>(Most of them merely talk shows with very little or no real outcomes)</b>. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">One of my observations over the last decade has been on how people are reacting to issues like climate change or sustainability. Over the years, there has been a remarkably better response or at least a better acknowledgment of the issue of climate change. People have become more proactive and action-driven. Most people really want to do their bit towards a better environment. (Ironically the climate crisis is also increasing exponentially) </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">One of the riding feedback that I receive from people particularly from the younger folks is; what is that they can do. In other words, how one can contribute towards a better environment. All of them want to be a part of the solution but are not sure how they can achieve it. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">The idea of this blog is to come up with the most basic <b>"doable"</b> toolkit for a starter wanting to be a part of a positive change. I have made an attempt to list a few basic and easy things that one can start practicing right away. One can build on the baby steps and take bigger actions as they move in the journey being a part of the solution. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">No doubt we can talk big and come with a long list of "to-do" things from installing solar panels, leading a frugal lifestyle, installing RWH units, Using EV, etc. (</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">signing petitions, doing roadshows ?</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">)</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span>But the idea of this post is not to talk big but to help with the first step. I plan to write 2 more blogs on the next steps that an individual can take. (By the way; my personal initiatives towards sustainability are in this </span><a href="https://sonublogs.blogspot.com/2020/12/experiment-to-break-water-energy-food.html" target="_blank">post</a><span>). </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;">So here is a list of few things that one can start at this very moment; </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyTaQKK00_lYn9jIzohuZqEf3k_ktKqtlxOwP9-hM4iage4y6CS2dD0IBiHQ5L4L71Bz2r2LAl_BTXX8TP81SEdzRa5iw8hXIlCAsjxbX3MF8vrnLdAfInxZp6bS3ePXCRGo8v6ZDykCk/s2048/Desktop7.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="2048" height="252" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyTaQKK00_lYn9jIzohuZqEf3k_ktKqtlxOwP9-hM4iage4y6CS2dD0IBiHQ5L4L71Bz2r2LAl_BTXX8TP81SEdzRa5iw8hXIlCAsjxbX3MF8vrnLdAfInxZp6bS3ePXCRGo8v6ZDykCk/w402-h252/Desktop7.jpg" width="402" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>1. Say no to Bottled water: </b>This needs no explanation or elaboration.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is a well-established fact that companies that produce bottled water do not actually produce water but produce plastic. Worldwide use of bottled water had perhaps increased 100 times in the last 15 years. All the water bottles either end up in the oceans or in the landfills. These landfills are one of the biggest reasons for water and soil pollution. All the water bottles that we have used so far are still lying somewhere on the planet. Also one of the reasons for an exponential increase in cancer cases in India is the excessive and indiscriminate use of plastics. Water stored in transparent plastics over a long time does more harm to the body than good. </div></span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLgeOmLzg0FKC7eAXebHJqhHFy7Ow83uxOJlhEx0l1PTaQblncX4uwm6onx89I33TPgluIaE7JPyxe4mtpLEkF8rAmzofNFYgO-uAFqriStf9iqwL3am6iacXV_CIItz6bbhWI4qZe1v0/s960/WhatsApp+Image+2021-10-09+at+22.19.08.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="345" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLgeOmLzg0FKC7eAXebHJqhHFy7Ow83uxOJlhEx0l1PTaQblncX4uwm6onx89I33TPgluIaE7JPyxe4mtpLEkF8rAmzofNFYgO-uAFqriStf9iqwL3am6iacXV_CIItz6bbhWI4qZe1v0/w259-h345/WhatsApp+Image+2021-10-09+at+22.19.08.jpeg" width="259" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">One of the immediate actions that one can take right away is refusing to </span><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: left;">use bottled water. The easiest replacement is to carry one's own copper or steel bottle and refill the water. It is a healthy option as well. I will not run the numbers here and make the post lengthy. A simple shift to </span><b style="font-family: verdana; text-align: left;">"Carry your own water bottle" </b><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: left;">will reduce</span><b style="font-family: verdana; text-align: left;"> </b><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: left;">Thousands of tons of plastic entering the landfills (and the food chain). </span></span><p></p><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">The same argument holds good for plastic bags as well. This action is simple and is very doable with very very least effort. It not only reduces pollution but also helps one improve his or her health. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><b>2. Compost your Organic waste: </b>This is slightly more difficult but one of the greatest ways to combat climate change. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Organic waste (Food and agriculture) is the single largest contributor to methane gas in the world. Locally composting organic waste will significantly reduce the build-up of harmful gases in the earth's atmosphere. Composting also improves soil health and as the popular adage goes <b>"Country's health is directly proportional to Soil Health" </b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><b>3. Say "NO" to Flower bouquet: </b>Giving and receiving a Flower bouquet wrapped in plastic or paper is a crime on the environment. It just adds up to mixed waste. A flower bouquet has unfortunately become a symbol of love. A better gift or a token of respect would be a flowering plant or a tree sapling. A live growing plant that gives oxygen is any day better than a dead flower. I will not elaborate on the carbon footprint of the flowers and their transportation. One must note that the flowers come over large distances with related energy and carbon footprint. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">In my opinion, this change in behavior just does not take any effort at all. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><b>4. Measure your water: </b><span>Water Carries an enormous carbon footprint. Sourcing, pumping, filtering, and delivering the water is a hugely energy-guzzling process. For political reasons, the true cost of water is never levied on the end-user leaving the latter with no incentive to save. One of the first acts of an environmentally conscious individual or an organization is to put a water meter at his or her house and limit the water usage. Cutting water consumption by 25 % will reduce exponentially more carbon emissions. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">One can also install water-saving fixtures and faucets to be more water-wise. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><b>5. Have a plant at home: </b>I have heard the common argument from many people that they do not have space at home for a plant or a tree. While I do understand the space constraints in an urban setting, there are many plants that one can keep inside the home that requires very little or no sunlight. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">One can keep plants like areca palm, snake plant, money plant, etc which not only adds oxygen inside the house but also adds to the beauty of the house. Maintaining one plant per person in the house is very doable and practical. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><b>6. A small contribution for the future: </b>I can go on by saying it is better to invest in a forest than an FD or mutual fund. But the idea of this post is something much simpler. We spend a lot of money on may unnecessary stuff. While keeping one's lifestyle intact; One can commit a small part of their earnings for the sake of the environment. Like a yearly contribution of 1% or 0.5% of their earnings to a well-meaning NGO working towards afforestation or water conservation. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><b>7. Walk your way: </b>Walking or cycling to the local store is good for the health and the environment. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><b>8. Avoid packaged food particularly imported food: </b>Packaged food has a huge carbon footprint and is very very unhealthy. In particular, imported chocolates and drinks have a heavy amount of preservatives and an enormous carbon footprint because of the transportation involved. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><b>9. Reduce Consumption: </b>This does not need explanation and strictly does not feature in this basic toolkit. However, one must feel that every time he or she buys something (Most often something that he or she does not need), they are adding harmful carbon into the atmosphere. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">I feel the above are very simple and can be adopted into our lifestyle right away. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">In the next post, I will dwell on version 2 of the toolkit with things that needs a little effort, little maintenance, and little investment. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p>M.S.Sunilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06814128097970392535noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579817962366190384.post-66861581793587825552021-08-09T01:04:00.001-07:002021-08-09T01:04:44.899-07:00Response to discussion paper on “determination of tariff in respect of solar power projects (including solar rooftop pv projects) for FY -22-24 “<h2><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a name="_Toc482659986"></a><a name="_Toc78956085"><span lang="EN-US">PREAMBLE:</span></a><span lang="EN-US"> </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></span></h2><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB">The Karnataka Electricity Regulatory

off-take of RTV projects among domestic consumers is very low. There may be
many reasons for it including high CAPEX. Though high Capex is one of the
reasons for the poor off-take of solar, there are many other administrative
challenges in the implementation of rooftop solar plants.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;">It will be prudent now to take a look

state has this policy. All BIS-approved inverters can be used for grid

leading companies have walked out of Karnataka leaving the solar developers with
poor quality inverters.<br /> </span></span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">This system of

The argument
definitely has water. The fact is “<b>BESCOM
is buying power from the ‘rooftop solar’ owner at a much lower rate than what
they are selling to them or other consumers</b>”. That is, the current feed-in
tariff is rupees 3.99 / 3.82 per unit while the average selling price of BESCOM
is well above rupees 6 or 7 a unit (or even more). Also, there is no escalation
clause in the power purchase agreement (PPA). <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">This is an unfair proposition. On the other hand, BESCOM revises its
selling rate almost every year at an average rate of about 7 to 8 percent.<b>In the net metering scenario, The SRTPV (solar
rooftop photo-voltaic) consumer buys at a rate higher than the rate he sells
power to BESCOM. <o:p></o:p></b></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Given that any excess feed in from an SRTPV consumer is almost consumed

recovers the infrastructure costs as demand charges. So, notwithstanding SRTPV,
the consumer is paying for the infrastructure. For example, <b>with or without SRTPV</b> a consumer having

Center and state governments have been making announcements that they are doing their best to revive the MSME sector. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">The Solar Energy sector is one of the fastest-growing sectors in India over the last few years. The Industry has contributed substantially in generating employment, reducing T ad D losses in power supply, and cutting down harmful carbon emissions. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">However, the rooftop solar energy sector is yet to catch up with the pace of the world, also with the target given by the government of India. The government of India has set a target of 40 GW by the year 2022 for the rooftop solar segment and regrettably, we have not even achieved one-third of the target. It is very unlikely that this ambitious target is going to be met. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">One of the reasons attributed to the poor offtake of rooftop solar in India is poor awareness and high capital cost. While this may be true, one of the least discussed and perhaps the greatest impediments in the implementation of rooftop solar in India is poor policy and inaction by State regulatory commissions and even poor implementation by the state DISCOMS. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Take for example the state of Karnataka. It is one of the most progressive states in terms of renewable energy adoption. Yet, it is seeing one of the darkest days (Like other states) with respect to rooftop solar energy generation. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">The Energy policy in the state is decided by the Karnataka Energy Regulatory Commission (KERC). It is the KERC that decides the feed-in tariff, the net metering regulations, the interconnection voltages, etc. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">The Rooftop solar energy policy will be valid till 31 march of every year and a new policy will be notified by the commission for the next financial year. However, there is no fixed time by which the new policy has to be issued. Installers and businesses around solar have to keep waiting.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">The year 2021 still does not have a policy. All rooftop solar works have come to a halt since new guidelines and policies are not issued by the commission with respect to rooftop solar installation. No new PPAs or Power Purchase agreements are made from April 01, 2021. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">This inaction, lack of policy and no firm commitment to timelines is causing panic and anxiety in the solar industry. Thousands of people have lost jobs and many more are likely to lose jobs in the coming days if the authorities behave indifferently with no concern either for the economy or for the environment. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">One of the reasons given by the commission is that they are awaiting some policy guidelines from the Ministry of Power (MOP). In the interim time, till the guidelines come from the ministry of power, KERC could have continued with the previous year's policies saving hundreds of jobs. (The MOP could have also said, old guidelines will be in force until the new one is issued) .</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"> The new guidelines have also been issued by MOP in the last week of June 2021 but KERC is yet to act on them. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">The Rooftop solar industry in Karanataka has already lost one quarter of a year with no idea how much more to wait for the new policy. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">This has been the story in few other states as well. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">If central and state governments are truly concerned about reviving the economy, they must not sit on important policies for months together. With COP 26 happening in the next couple of months, India must aggressively push for sustainable and equitable development. However, the poor actions on the ground do not give hope in that direction. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Solar has immense potential both in terms of ensuring clean energy and generating employment. Government must capitalize on this great gift of the sun by making adoption of it easier & simpler instead of entangling it in the web of inefficient bureaucracy. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">The government's purported concern towards MSME is also not in sync with the way it has handled the rooftop solar segment. If they were truly concerned about MSME, the government must have acted on new guidelines on time and also issued orders to states not to delay implementation of clean energy technologies. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">We are still caught up with old bureaucratic models of endless red-tapism and inaction. If we have to reduce the ill effects of climate change and revive the economy, we have to act very quickly. Generating employment and reducing carbon emissions must be our top two priorities. Bureaucracy must be in pace with the urgent needs. If we continue in the paradigm of poor accountability, climate change will soon sweep us into death and despair. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>M.S.Sunilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06814128097970392535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579817962366190384.post-17521809213393869802021-05-17T05:35:00.009-07:002021-05-21T03:38:25.620-07:00Climate Change and Bureaucracy<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">A recent study of the risk
consultancy firm Versik Maplecroft says that “Out of the 100 cities that are at
the greatest risk to environmental issues such as Air Pollution and natural disasters,
99 are in Asia and 43 in India”. The study covered 576 Cities on indices like
Air and water quality, Water scarcity, heat stress, vulnerability to Natural
disasters, and Climate change. Worryingly, our National Capital New Delhi comes
second after the city of Jakarta. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Other than the Empirical evidence
that we are seeing in terms of Cyclone, the poor quality of air, and the
Pandemic, this is yet another study that warns India of the perils of the “Business
as Usual” Approach. It is high time that we get serious about Climate Change
and shift our focus to Action. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Good Quality Air, Water, and Food
must be the priorities of India and not Mandir, Masjid, CAA, etc. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Our Environmental indices
continue to be poor. Air Quality in Major cities in India is at Warning levels.
Water is less conspicuous than air but the quality of Piped water supply in
Urban India is much below acceptable standards. Many reports and studies have
confirmed this. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">In post-Pandemic India, the focus
of the government will be economic recovery and massive Economic Growth. It is desirable
since millions have now been pushed into poverty. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">However, This Economic progress
may come at the cost of the environment. This is exactly what we have to avoid.
Famous Broadcaster David Attenborough has warned that if we fail to act now, we
will see “Irreversible damage to the natural world and collapse of societies”.
He has also mentioned that we are running out of time and the only time to act
is “NOW”. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">So, what options do we have in
India? We want a healthy, progressive nation to be breathing clean air, drinking
pure water from the tap, and not be running cancer or oxygen express trains. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">We have to adopt a multi-pronged
approach if we have to reach our Lofty goals. Few on the policy front and few
at the Action Front.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">First, the country must change
its energy policy. The regulatory authorities must not be at the hands of
retired bureaucrats who run it like government offices delaying Important policies.
Technology is fast-changing and if governments don’t adapt to it, the country
will lose. Take for example the rooftop solar program in India. The policy goes
for revision every financial year-end and it takes 2 to 3 months for the new
policy. Till the time no new projects are taken. Solar Energy is now much
cheaper than the Grid. So, the Electricity distribution companies (DISCOMS) are
incurring losses due to large offtake of rooftop solar projects. Now the
DISCOMS are using regulatory authorities and Governments to delay policies,
impose irrational duties on imports of solar components, put a cap on solar
generation, and so on; so that their financial condition does not worsen. This
is hurting both the economy as well as environment. Government must immediately
restructure DISCOMS and Regulatory authorities so that both work with the
industry and not against each other. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Second, we must bring
accountability to the Water distribution system in major cities. Many studies
have pointed out that the piped water quality in the city of Bangalore is below
acceptable standards. Yet the Government-owned water distribution company is
not accountable for it. This indirectly means pollution is unaccounted for. We
must bring in strong laws to punish the government-owned bodies and boards when
their service is counter to their policies and standards. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Third, Government must stop this
subsidy business in promoting solar or bio-mass or any other renewable energy
technologies. Technology is galloping. These technologies are affordable and
scalable and do not need subsidies. The government is just hindering the
offtake of these technologies by introducing subsidies thereby encouraging
sub-standards products and technologies (To match their price). Bureaucrats are
having merry in the name of subsidies. Subsidies have never done any good for
the environment. In fact, Subsidies have harmed the environment. We have the
classic example of subsidies on synthetic fertilizers which have ruined the
soil and polluted the water. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Fourth, Forests and trees must be
regarded as infrastructure. Indiscriminate cutting of trees and forests must be
stopped immediately in the name of infrastructure development. Clearing of
forests; if required, must be accompanied by a court-monitored action of making
a bigger forest in a time-bound manner. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Fifth, Government must use its
financial resources and CSR funds for growing forests. Exactly like how major
works like highways are awarded, we have to award “Building forests” to private
bodies. This will also boost the local Agro-economy and soil health. Growing
forest must be regarded as infrastructure development. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Sixth, Cities must be made to pay
for catchment management and maintenance. For example, In Bangalore, the water
supply board (Or the citizens) does not contribute anything to the catchment
development of its two major river basins Cauvery and Kabini. Protecting the pristine
catchment of these two rivers is of primordial importance for the city. City
water supply companies must take care of and be responsible for the catchment
of its source. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Seventh, Waste is a major problem
in cities. The Municipal authorities are not able to handle it and rightly so.
The magnitude is too large. Wet waste must be handled as locally as possible. Citizens
must be encouraged to compost the wet waste in-house. Or the municipal
authorities must make sure that the wet waste does not leave the ward. Centralized
management will add a lot of methane to the city air. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Eighth, most cities receive
annual rainfall to meet their water requirement and yet we spend plenty of
energy and money in conveying water. The country has enough engineering
capabilities to manage the city water needs within the city. Large amounts of
money and energy can be saved by arresting the runoff from the city to meet its
own needs. Many water bodies can be constructed which will cool the city and
add to its bio-diversity. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Ninth, City planners must move
ahead of setbacks, FAR, etc, and make it mandatory for every house/ society/
factory, etc to have a provision for at the least one tree. Bad Building
by-laws coupled with rampant corruption have almost taken out the concept of
gardening in the house. Many buildings have come up in the cities with ugly-looking stilt parking and multiple floors with no earth space for either a tree
or the rainwater to percolate. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Tenth, At the individual level, we
have to work on and quickly adopt local forestry, Rainwater harvesting, Rooftop
solar, organic terrace farming, cycling etc. Environment and climate change studies
must start with primary school and be continued to every branch of education
till graduation. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">At a larger level, governments
must take all possible actions to reduce or ban plastics. Electric vehicles
must be given a strong push. The scourge of corruption must be reduced if not eliminated.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Jargons must give way to actions.
Conferences, Seminars, signing of agreements, Meetings, etc are of no avail
anymore. What is required is action and action now. We have always regarded
nature as God. The God-form of Nature is limited to only talks and
self-boasting. In reality, we have abused nature and will soon see her wrath.
If we don’t change now, perhaps we can never again. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

It is located on the banks of the Bheemanakuppe lake en route to the famous Big Banayan Tree.</span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The campus is spread a little over 2 acres. Most of the campus is a plantation with many varieties of mangoes, Banana, Guava, coconut, and turmeric. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Apart from the main sanctum sanctorum for the holy trinity, the Ashram has a Hostel block, A training center, and a pretty big Goshala. Ashram also a small quarters for the staff. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Apart from Spiritual pursuits, the ashram is actively involved in imparting Vocational training. The Ashram also has a residential facility for about 15 kids who are pursuing various levels of School education in the nearby Schools. The schooling, boarding and lodging facilities, and vocational training are all completely free of cost. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHmEbnchdwg-QeI93gqab4Iuv3pOM6QixxR3ElgpTEgthBHqsv-IexO-oyidsAmJpUuTm4rZaSha_J89Xj7leL5l98JvjmpxIHum6_Bq8my1iG9DEsJGrMmUw0OkDr5z8R2CbSaE5fRrE/s1362/RKYA.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="915" data-original-width="1362" height="323" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHmEbnchdwg-QeI93gqab4Iuv3pOM6QixxR3ElgpTEgthBHqsv-IexO-oyidsAmJpUuTm4rZaSha_J89Xj7leL5l98JvjmpxIHum6_Bq8my1iG9DEsJGrMmUw0OkDr5z8R2CbSaE5fRrE/w454-h323/RKYA.jpg" width="454" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Ramakrishna Yogashrama </span><br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><div style="text-align: justify;">I was taken to the place for a different reason. The Campus being quite</div><div style="text-align: justify;">far from the city limits had some electrical infrastructure issues. Most importantly there was no stable electricity connection (Grid) available at the campus. There was no power in most parts of the monsoon. During summer it used to get very difficult for the cows to bear the scorching heat since the power supply to the Goshala was erratic. Since there was a training center and hostel, having a stable power supply was very important. </div></span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The president of the Ashrama is Swami Yogeshwarananda. A highly educated and dedicated Swamiji has dedicated his life to the cause of spirituality and education. Swamiji gave me a comprehensive view of the campus and the problem. To overcome the problem of electricity, the Ashram had already invested in a solar power project. But unfortunately, it was not working and most of the equipment was burnt because of poor design and installation. Swamiji mentioned that they had invested a lot of money to no avail. He also mentioned that they were getting a huge electricity bill and was hurting them financially; given that they were mainly running on donations. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Now my job was to assimilate the data, find the best solutions in the most sustainable way. I crystallized my thoughts into three goals. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><ul><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Make sure that The ashrama does not pay any more electricity bills anymore. </span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Make sure that there are no power cuts in the sanctum Sanctorum at any given point in time (Since it also had the student study area) . </span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Use all possible components from the old system. </span></li></ul><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Then we went about designing the solution. From the old system, we could recover about 3 KW of Solar Panels and 6 batteries of 150 Ah, and some cables. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">After some discussions with the Swamiji, we came up with the following solutions. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">1. A 5 KW <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZxBLcadxcY&list=PLLifd1PGpGAcN8ecWe3ooqF9lj0z9K4Y-&index=1" target="_blank">Rooftop Solar hybrid</a> system for the main sanctum Sanctorum. This would ensure an un-interrupted power supply and also would ensure zero electricity bill since the excess power could be traded with the electricity distribution company. We could use 4 out of the 6 recovered batteries here.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">2. Out of the 3 KW Recovered solar panels, Use 2 KW solar panels to put an On-grid rooftop Solar system on the hostel block. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">3. Use the remaining 1 KW solar panels and 2 batteries to put a 1 KW off-grid solar system for the GoShala (Cowshed). </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Now that we decided on the solution & system topologies, the next challenge was the funds for the project. Though Ashrama picked up a large chunk of the cost, we still had to find ways to fund some portion of the project. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The funding challenge was overcome by the following means </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgln4eFnP9ZITtMOyh3zsBGbawxd92C70-XM25uC5blkMhwBP41BKX-nzvxe-tX3T6fzm9wiXDVpwn_zXbz-cnl96msJ3YBCgqehXY8PdYMsDv1WIVZTuM3VTBFnkgVQt8f5jv11naVV0A/s830/FB_IMG_1551802794621__01.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="830" data-original-width="824" height="438" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgln4eFnP9ZITtMOyh3zsBGbawxd92C70-XM25uC5blkMhwBP41BKX-nzvxe-tX3T6fzm9wiXDVpwn_zXbz-cnl96msJ3YBCgqehXY8PdYMsDv1WIVZTuM3VTBFnkgVQt8f5jv11naVV0A/w436-h438/FB_IMG_1551802794621__01.jpg" width="436" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">1. From my organization; we pledged a small sum and some electrical accessories like cables, switches, circuit breakers, etc. </span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">2. The inverter supplier, Studer from Switzerland gave a very good discount on the hybrid inverter. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">3. We ran a crowdfunding campaign where we got a good chunk of money. As expected some of our clients made a very generous contribution to the project. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">4. Since the On-grid system does not work during power cuts, a disciple of the Ashrama donated a UPS for the Hosel block. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">All the challenges were overcome by end of February 2019. The project started rolling. We installed a 5 KW Hybrid system at the sanctum sanctorum. A 2 KW on-grid system came up at the hostel block and a 1 KW Off-grid system came up in the Goshala. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">All our staff was very enthusiastic about the project since it had a very good social cause. By the end of March 2019, all the projects were completed and commissioned.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">It has been more than 2 years since the project is completed. There is not even one day of darkness at the Ashrama. Not a single rupee is spent on electricity for the last two years. On the other hand, every month the electric grid company is paying a small amount for the Ashrama for the excess energy supplied to the grid. Cows look happy and so are staff who maintain the Goshala. There is 24 x 7 Power at goshala thanks to the off-grid solar power system. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">This was not our first social project nor will this be the last. 5 years back, we installed an Off-grid solar system at a <a href="https://sonublogs.blogspot.com/2017/04/satisfaction.html" target="_blank">remote school</a> in the Western Ghats totally out of funds raised from friends and family. I was told that the small off-grid system that we installed there has helped the school immensely particularly the class X students who stay at school for a few months to prepare for the exams. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">These projects reinforce my belief in the power of Solar Energy and I am sure, solar energy is going to make a big socio-economic </span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">impact in the world in the coming years. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0ghxIa8PAQMbFeGIsCbMmRvBgqpwHi-5lBPpw-lOSGUt28bQ4WfPRZySKMvzfH6yBFtCftST_m94Ve0_41QI5dX4_f3xn_iu85TMZyP9Ka4hXuOscRl5UHu-j6bO-WX2U-dEyu6eb0yo/s1107/swami.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="830" data-original-width="1107" height="371" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0ghxIa8PAQMbFeGIsCbMmRvBgqpwHi-5lBPpw-lOSGUt28bQ4WfPRZySKMvzfH6yBFtCftST_m94Ve0_41QI5dX4_f3xn_iu85TMZyP9Ka4hXuOscRl5UHu-j6bO-WX2U-dEyu6eb0yo/w495-h371/swami.jpg" width="495" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8CJsyrbXTEQeVUPPwIlnAGfxZ4hszpL34Vw8zcw9QqbiHV-jqk7RfJR5D3MNqI89s6f_fshCmxzC7HIUzpuiF1O558LbWatybF7ob1kw_zldyFKz5MuGaH_9dJJi69oFQwW2VPxFYPHs/s1053/Appreciation+from+Ramakrishna+Yogashrama.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1053" data-original-width="715" height="544" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8CJsyrbXTEQeVUPPwIlnAGfxZ4hszpL34Vw8zcw9QqbiHV-jqk7RfJR5D3MNqI89s6f_fshCmxzC7HIUzpuiF1O558LbWatybF7ob1kw_zldyFKz5MuGaH_9dJJi69oFQwW2VPxFYPHs/w369-h544/Appreciation+from+Ramakrishna+Yogashrama.jpg" width="369" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p>M.S.Sunilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06814128097970392535noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579817962366190384.post-52633098575421994472020-12-02T06:30:00.008-08:002022-03-01T07:54:04.642-08:00Experiment to Break The WATER-ENERGY-FOOD Nexus<div class="separator"></div><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br />This is in a way continuation and almost repetition of the previous post where I have written about the "Sustenance Roof".<br /> <br /></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Last week I was invited to give a talk on my experiments with "Sustenance Roof" at the International Workshop cum Training on “Green Growth Strategies for Climate Resilience and DRR: Policies, Pathways, and Tools” Organized by the National Institute of Disaster Management (New Delhi) and the Institute for Social and Economic charge (Bangalore).

of this water collected into the aquifer through a recharge well. Through this
recharge well, the soil around the well got saturated in one year and now the
well is yielding water which can, in turn, be used for irrigating the rooftop
garden. Over the course of the next two years, with the water level in the Recharge well
raising, it will be possible to meet the total water demand by the recharge
well itself (Which was fed by the rainwater). </span></p></li></ol><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="366" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xpyrUwtmqrE" width="440" youtube-src-id="xpyrUwtmqrE"></iframe></div><br /><span style="color: #323232; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><ol style="display: inline; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><li style="display: inline; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_M5lJIo93hc" width="320" youtube-src-id="_M5lJIo93hc"></iframe><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pVOr3Xnw6rE" width="320" youtube-src-id="pVOr3Xnw6rE"></iframe></div></div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Recharge Well: </h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKCYEWJKy_18DuELMxCKTi-OGErLiF_ZTbDyXphBZUYJ8qLqjlZVKD1TNe8N1OATreNkKJgJdxkGLceFvI_zaHJyDNR5O4xbg1xDLvzbhJ1BWBjxpHz-CK6fplq2C8F5orKFvuNsy9dmo/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="341" data-original-width="568" height="295" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKCYEWJKy_18DuELMxCKTi-OGErLiF_ZTbDyXphBZUYJ8qLqjlZVKD1TNe8N1OATreNkKJgJdxkGLceFvI_zaHJyDNR5O4xbg1xDLvzbhJ1BWBjxpHz-CK6fplq2C8F5orKFvuNsy9dmo/w492-h295/image.png" width="492" /></a></div></div></span></li><li style="display: inline; font-size: large;"><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></h3></li><li style="display: inline; font-size: large;"><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Impact on the Nexus (Water):</h3></li><li style="display: inline;"><div>1. The water <span style="color: #323232; text-indent: -18pt;">which falls on the roof is directly
used or recharged. Therefore the embodied energy is not converted to any form. </span></div></li><li style="display: inline;"><div><span style="color: #323232; text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span></div></li><li style="display: inline;"><div><span style="color: #323232; text-indent: -18pt;">2.

The water path, that is the distance the water has traveled from reception to consumption in this case is (7+3+3+7 = 20 M). </span><span style="color: #323232;">This is perhaps the least distance the water can
take before put into effective use. </span></div></li><li style="display: inline;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #323232;"><br /></span></div></li><li style="display: inline;"><div><span style="color: #323232;">6. With the underground </span><span style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #545454; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0cm;">aquifer getting recharged over a
course of time, we may not need any water from the grid. This will complete the
cycle. Thus, we replenish the quantity of water and increase its quality too.</span></div></li><li style="display: inline;"><div><span style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #545454; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0cm;"><br /></span></div></li><li style="display: inline;"><div><span style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #545454; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0cm;">7.

When it comes to financial sustainability, Rainwater falling on one's roof or in one's aquifer is the cheapest source of water. Since there is no cost (and energy) involved in the treatment and supply of water, rainwater will be the cheapest source of water. The video below puts things in perspective. </span></div></li><li style="display: inline;"><div><span style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #545454; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0cm;"><br /></span></div></li><li style="display: inline;"><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="292" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SMtCEv2sz6g" width="351" youtube-src-id="SMtCEv2sz6g"></iframe></div><br /><span style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #545454; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0cm;"><br /></span></div></li><li style="display: inline;"><span style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #545454; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0cm;"><p style="clear: both; font-size: 12pt; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="340" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8SLvrJP_m1k" width="409" youtube-src-id="8SLvrJP_m1k"></iframe></p><h4 style="color: black; font-size: large;"></h4><h4><a name="_Toc56285141"><b><span face=""Verdana",sans-serif" style="background: white; color: red; font-size: large; line-height: 19.9733px;">ENERGY:</span></b></a></h4></span></li></span></ol><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(254, 254, 254); color: red; display: inline; font-family: verdana; font-size: 14pt; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #545454; font-size: 12pt;">1.

Our solar PV power system produces
an average of 12 units per day that is more than double our requirement. So, we

Since the cost of energy from the
solar PV system is much lesser than LPG, we have switched to electrical cooking
or induction plate for cooking (When we do not use solar cooker). So, our LPG is mostly for emergency purposes.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(254, 254, 254); color: red; font-family: verdana; font-size: 14pt; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #545454; font-size: 12pt;">5. Since the solar thermal line is
also connected to the kitchen, water used for cooking is preheated to a certain
extent.

<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Perhaps the <b><i>"Environment"</i></b> has more share in the days than anything else in the list of days we observe. For example, we have the 'World water day', 'world earth day', 'world biodiversity day, 'world ocean day', and so on. But the irony is, it is the "Environment" that is most misused and abused in spite of so many days in the calendar dedicated to observe and celebrate its magnificence, beauty, and grandeur.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: large;">We are today seeing the downside of globalization. Heavy dependence on foreign oil, goods, and services are hurting our economy. We are today realizing the perils of long-distance movement of food and other essentials. Materialistic living, heavy consumerism, unhealthy (and expensive) food habits are a result of infinite choices, which we have, fortunately, realized is not the best thing to have.</span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: large;">The word sustainability, in my opinion, has more relevance now than at any other time in the history of mankind. COVID Pandemic has shown us that we cannot take the environment and economy for granted. Call for <a href="https://www.susmafia.org/wall/search/.hash.atmanirbhar">#atmanirbhar</a> Bharat could not have come at a better time. </span></span></div><div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: large;">It is high time that we look at hybrid decentralized models of living (and perhaps development).</span></span></div>
<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But the question now is what is sustainability. We hear this word hundreds of times every day. But what exactly does it mean to be sustainable? Is it measurable? Is there an index for our sustainability?. This is no doubt a difficult question. However, the following will give a kind of simple implementable definition.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">"The paradigm of development where progress is achieved in all spheres of life and in all segments of the society where resources (Natural, Social, Biological and economic) are used in a manner in which its quality and quantity are not compromised for the future generations."</span></b></i></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the ways of achieving this sustainability at a very local and decentralized level is to produce most of your essentials rather than buying it. This way you have more control over the quantity and quality of the inputs used and outputs produced and its respective environment footprint.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At a larger scheme of things, from the individual perspective, minimalistic living, consuming less and simple lifestyle contributes qualitatively to one's sustainability (and adds a lot of purpose and value to one's life).</span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have been experimenting with both of the above for over a course of time in my home.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have been working on a model where my roof meets most of my water and energy needs. In my opinion, this is as de-centralized as it can get. I call it the <b><i>"Sustenance roof".</i></b> Though I have not been entirely successful I have made some headway into this. I am writing a gist of my journey so far.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">3. With a rainfall of 86,500 liters, this translates to (86,500/430)= 201 say 200 days of water requirement or about 54%.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">4. </span><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">More importantly, we put a portion of this water
collected into the aquifer through a recharge well. Through this recharge well,
the soil around the well got saturated in one year and now the well is yielding
water which can in turn be used for irrigating the rooftop garden. Over the
course of the next two years, with the water level in the well raising, it will
be possible to meet the total water demand by the recharge well itself .</span></span></div><div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="325" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_M5lJIo93hc" width="391" youtube-src-id="_M5lJIo93hc"></iframe></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Sustainability Check (Water): </span></div>

<ul>
<li><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">About 50% of the water that we consume falls right on our heads. That means it is replenishable and this 50% of the water that we do not take from the grid can be supplied elsewhere thus adding to equitable distribution.</span></div>
</span></li>
<li><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Avoiding long-distance transmission of water saves the energy associated with it.</span></div>
</span></li>
<li><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With the underground aquifer getting recharged over a course of time, we may not need any water from the grid. This will complete the cycle. Thus we replenish the quantity of water and increase its quality too.</span></div>
</span></li>
<li><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Most importantly, the rainfall falling on our roof is the purest form of water. Thus we consume water in its purest form with the least possible conveyance. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. With a family of 3 plus a floating population, our daily requirement is about 5 units of energy including cooking.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. We have the following to meet this demand</span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A. A 3KW rooftop solar PV system</span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">B. A 150 Liter solar water heater.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Our solar PV power system produces an average of 12 units per day that is more than double our requirement. So we end up selling about 50% of the energy that we produce.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Since the cost of energy from the solar PV system is much lesser than LPG, we have switched to electrical cooking or induction plate for cooking. So our LPG is mostly for emergency purposes.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">5. Since the solar thermal line is also connected to the kitchen, water used for cooking is preheated to a certain extent. This reduces the heating load of the induction stove or LPG</span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">6. We plan to install a biogas unit to completely eliminate LPG.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">7. Heat seal white paint on the roof keeps the house cool and reduces the air conditioning requirement to a maximum of 20 days in a year.</span></div><div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span face=", , , sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #171717; font-size: large; white-space: pre-line;">We are far from self-sufficiency in so far as nutrition is concerned.

It will be prudent to introspect and mend our ways before it is too late.</span></div><div class="XzvDs _208Ie tFDi5 blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2QAo- _1iXso _7G6-i tFDi5 public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #171717; direction: ltr; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-line;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div class="XzvDs _208Ie tFDi5 blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2QAo- _1iXso _7G6-i tFDi5 public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #171717; direction: ltr; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-line;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="361" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VbUjFGwLjbY" width="434" youtube-src-id="VbUjFGwLjbY"></iframe></div><br /><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Our country is going through
unprecedented crisis amidst global pandemic. The world as well as India is
evolving a new normal which will hopefully end ills of the past like climate
change, chronic capitalism and inequality.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">We will as a country; will definitely tide over the present crisis in a couple of months. But our greater
challenge will be once the pandemic ends. Millions have lost jobs, millions
will lose in the coming days. Hunger and mass migration unparalleled in the
history of independent of India, unfortunately is staring at us. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">As the old adage goes <b>“God
brings men into deep waters not to drown them but to clean them”.</b> It is now
prudent and inevitable to see this situation as an opportunity more than a
crisis. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

large able workforce is going back to their lands. That means we have now a
good working population in the country side which is actually battling
agriculture labour shortage. This dividend should be used for the better now.
Government must encourage large scale farming in rich delta of UP and Bihar and
bring back its old glory. <b>Indian can also become world’s food basket.</b> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Without adequate education and implementation of water conservation micro projects,
large scale agriculture will not be possible. Government must educate and

the consumers where farmers received more money and consumers got a lower price
. A solid delivery chain roping in loss making postal departments and youth of the country side can be established for seamless delivery of
agricultural produce from the producers to consumers. This way food prices will
come down and farmers will get higher income. <b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

Subsidies and bureaucratic models have only failed us in terms of quality. Time

Pictures of our brethren walking on the highways and picture of mass migration
from Delhi are glaring evidence of how we have deprived our brethren. If we do
not correct ourselves now, history will not be kind to us. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Pumping
water away from the country side to meet the insatiable demand of our
megacities is a sin on mankind. If there is any hope for any kind of
sustainability in our future, it has to start with water. Cities must stop
getting water hundreds of miles away (Many of these projects perhaps are
designed out of vested interest). There are many small interventions that can
reduce the demand of water in cities. Some are listed below; <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

receive rainfall to meet at least 40 percent of their water demand (If not
more). Rainwater harvesting is easy and must be implemented at ward level

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">With the water crisis gripping most parts of India, we are receiving many calls enquiring about rainwater harvesting and Rainwater filtration process/Processes. Most questions are related to how the rainwater can be filtered. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Many brands of Rainwater filters are available in the market. Mostly they work under two broad principles; </span></div>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Centrifugal Force:</b> The water enters the filter laterally and swirls inside the filter and makes a vortex. The heavier particles fall off due to centrifugal force and relatively clean water pass through the filter. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Conventional Gravity Flow (Sand filter):</b> Here the water enters the filter chamber after first rain separation (A method to leave out initial few minutes of rain). The water passes through series of filter media and enters the filter. </span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This posts is intended to enlist the main differences between the two types of filter and help people choose the right filter for their needs. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Most of our customers argue that feed in tariff is too low. The argument definitely has water. The fact is “<b>BESCOM is buying power from the ‘rooftop solar’ owner at a much lower rate than what they are selling to them or other conumers</b>”. That is, the current feed in tariff is rupees 3.56 per unit while the average selling price of BESCOM is well above rupees 5 or 6 a unit (or even more) . Also, there is no escalation clause in the power purchase agreement (PPA).<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is an unfair proposition. On the other hand BESCOM revises its selling rate almost every year at an average rate of about 7 to 8 Percent year on year. <b>In the net metering scenario, The SRTPV (solar rooftop photo-voltaic) consumer buys at a rate higher than the rate he sells power to BESCOM.<o:p></o:p></b></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Given that any excess feed in from a SRTPV consumer is consumed within the radius of the distribution transformer or in most cases by the immediate neighbor, it will be prudent to assume minimum or nil T and D losses from the power generated from a SRTPV unit. <b>So, a SRTPV owner is giving clean power to BESCOM with almost Nil T & D losses with capex coming in from the SRTPV Owner.<o:p></o:p></b></span></span></div>

<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So ideally, BESCOM must pay any producer of electricity a minimum of rupees <b>6.98 a unit.</b></span></li>
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">However, BESCOM would say that the SRTPV consumer is using the BESCOM infrastructure free of cost. This is however not true. In a NET metering scenario, BESCOM recovers the infrastructure costs as demand charges. So, notwithstanding SRTPV, the consumer is paying for the infrastructure. For example, <b>with or without SRTPV</b> a consumer having sanctioned load of 5 KW pays (1x50) + (4x60) = 290 rupees a month. <b>This is also subject to revision every year.</b></span></li>
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">BESCOM recovers its T and D losses in the profit earned. In a SRTPV scenario, the SRTPV owner is giving good clean power at nil T and D.</span></li>
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">BESCOM however loses a paying consumer, so to be fair to BESCOM and to account for cross subsidy, rupees 1.25 or 125 paise per unit of electricity can be pegged to account for losing a paying customer and for cross subsidy.</span></li>
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px; text-align: justify;"><b><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So Rationally, any SRTPV consumer injecting excess energy into grid must be paid a rational price of (698-125) = 573 paise a unit or rupees 5.73 a unit.</span></span></b></li>
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Competitive tariff for SRTPV owners will also encourage more installations and at the same time bring pressure on KPC and other companies to reduce rates and increase efficiency. </span></li>

significant part of the system is the inverter. Inverter manufacturers give a
warranty of 5 years to 10 years depending on the technology and quality control
protocol of the respective manufacturer. <b>The

<div style="text-align: justify;">
2019 has started for many as it started in 2018 with everyone wishing everyone "Happy new year" . Well, the fact is for all of us , it is only a new calendar . Everything else remains the same . We will continue to have the same job and the same wife . Only difference in 2019 is , January 01 comes on a Tuesday while it was on a Monday in 2018 . Nevertheless Happy new year. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Like for all of us , January 1 was a Tuesday after Monday for Suresh, an entrepreneur based out of Bannerghatta in Bangalore. His day started at 4 AM . He landed at his office at 06:00 AM . Unlike most of us, it was a hard day at work for Suesh. He finished his job for the day and left for his home at 2:45 PM from Krishna Rao park in Basavanagudi and reached his home at Jungle Palya in Bannerghatta at 5:30 PM. As Suresh put it , these times may not be correct because Suresh does not get to see the watch. It is only a guess. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Why was it a hard day at work for Suresh ? As he puts it , it was a very bad since it was January 01. Suresh said , since it was January 01, there were very few morning walkers in Krishna rao park and his business was very poor since there were very few customers . </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This was the narration given by Suresh as he was waiting for me to finish my breakfast at a Udupi hotel today morning . Since i picked up a conversation with him , he was hoping for some business from me and waited till i finished my breakfast. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Suresh is born blind . He stays in a rented house near Bannerghatta. Every week, an organization working for the blind visits his house and gives him some handkerchiefs. His Job is to go around selling these kerchiefs. He gets paid 300 rupees for every 6 packs of kerchiefs that he sells . 6 packs is 72 kerchiefs . </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

The rent for their house is 3000 rupees a month. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His Day starts at 4:00 AM. He goes out of the house by 4:45 AM. He walks for about 20 mins to catch a bus which gets him to JP Nagar. From there he takes another bus either to mini forest or MTR or to Krishna rao park depending on his instincts. He goes around walking in the park selling kerchiefs to walkers . He then stands at the Darshini type hotels (Fast food joints) and tries to sell the kerchiefs to the customers . He says his target is 72 kerchiefs a day . That works out to 300 rupees. Suresh adds , "With some tips and few people sharing their idli or coffee with me , it adds up to about 350 rupees to 400 a day ". Suresh said he has to get back to his house before dark since his wife cannot manage the kid in the dark . </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Necessity, determination, self-respect , call it by any name . Here is a guy selling kerchiefs to walkers and leading a life . Walking in Bangalore with both eyes wide open is itself a challenge . So one can imagine how it is to walk in Bangalore unable to see. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Suresh was telling me his story as i was having my breakfast. He refused to have breakfast since he had finished. Not once; he said , his life is difficult . He said he is happy making 300 a day . For that he has to work all 30 days a month from 4 AM to 4 PM. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As perhaps expected by Suresh, i did give him a business. Before taking leave , he said "ಮತ್ತೆ ಸಿಗೋಣ ಸಾರ್ ", meaning let us meet again. It was a nice gesture. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These stories make me wonder if we are all too pampered. Most of us are just bundle of excuses trying very very hard to pass the buck.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
New year has started with a nice learning experience . Hope my new year will be full of new learning. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once again, A very happy new year to all. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_Toc527414860"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: large;">Scenario
:</span></span></a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Most of our customers argue that feed in tariff is too low. The argument definitely
has water. The fact is “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">BESCOM is buying
power from the ‘rooftop solar’ owner at a much lower rate than what they are
selling to them or other conumers</b>”. That is, the current feed in tariff is rupees
3.56 per unit while the average selling price of BESCOM is well above rupees 5
or 6 a unit (or even more) . Also, there is no escalation clause in the power
purchase agreement (PPA). <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>an unfair proposition. On
the other hand BESCOM revises its selling rate almost every year at an average rate
of about 7 to 8 Percent year on year. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">In
the net metering scenario, The SRTPV (solar rooftop photo-voltaic) consumer
buys at a rate higher than the rate he sells power to BESCOM. <o:p></o:p></b></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Given that any excess feed in from a SRTPV consumer is consumed within the
radius of the distribution transformer or in most cases by the immediate
neighbor, it will be prudent to assume minimum or nil T and D losses from the
power generated from a SRTPV unit. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">So, a
SRTPV owner is giving clean power to BESCOM with almost Nil T & D losses
with capex coming in from the SRTPV Owner. <o:p></o:p></b></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Not only that the SRTPV consumer and the installer goes around pillar to
post for all the approvals and commissioning. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So in the most optimistic
of scenario , the average power purchase cost by BESCOM over the next 20 years
will be rupees <b>6.98 a unit.</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Any consumer who wishes to
install SRTPV will be a middle class consumer falling in the second or third
slab or BESCOM tariff .</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Currently Bescom tariff
varies from 3.5 rupees to 7.65 Rupees a unit depending on the tariff slab.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Given that Solar is still
an expensive proposition, it will be safe to assume that any person who wishes
to install solar will fall in the middle slab say who pays an average cost of
rupees 5 per unit of electricity.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So in a scenario where the
consumer does not have SRTPV unit in his premises, BESCOM is charging him or
her rupees 5 a unit (This is a very safe assumption since most domestic
consumer who can afford SRTPV units fall in the higher slabs) .</span></li>
<li><b><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In
other words, BESCOM charges at a rate of 5 rupees per unit for any domestic
consumer.</span></span></b></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At an escalation of 4%
every year, the unit rate of BESCOM power for the domestic consumer is as
follows .</span></li>

<ul>
<li><b><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So
in a 20 year time scale scenario, assuming ambitious very little inflation,
BESCOM is buying power from KPTCL , NTPC and others at rupees 6.98 a unit and
selling to the consumer at 7.44 rupees a unit.</span></span></b></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So ideally, BESCOM must pay
any producer of electricity a minimum of rupees <b>6.98 a unit.</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However, BESCOM would say
that the SRTPV consumer is using the BESCOM infrastructure free of cost. This
is however not true. In a NET metering scenario, BESCOM recovers the infrastructure
costs as demand charges. So, notwithstanding SRTPV, the consumer is paying for
the infrastructure. For example, <b>with or
without SRTPV</b> a consumer having sanctioned load of 5 KW pays (1x50) +
(4x60) = 290 rupees a month. <b>This is
also subject to revision every year.</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">BESCOM recovers its T and D
losses in the profit earned. In a SRTPV scenario, the SRTPV owner is giving
good clean power at nil T and D.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">BESCOM however loses a
paying consumer, so to be fair to BESCOM and to account for cross subsidy,
rupees 1.25 or 125 paise per unit of electricity can be pegged to account for losing
a paying customer and for cross subsidy.</span></li>
<li><b><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So
Rationally, any SRTPV consumer injecting excess energy into grid must be paid a
rational price of (698-125) = 573 paise a unit or rupees 5.73 a unit.</span></span></b></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Competitive tariff for
SRTPV owners will also encourage more installations and at the same time bring
pressure on KPC and other companies to reduce rates and increase
efficiency. </span></li>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Every installer and every SRTPV consumer is irritated by long and lengthy
procedures and series of approvals required for SRTPV installations. There is an
urgent need for rationalization of processes. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bescom website gives a timeline for
various approvals. But it is nowhere mentioned <b>what must be done or what is the next step if the time line is not
adhered to.</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As per BESCOM website, it
says all SRTPV applications must be done <b>Online
Only.</b> In that case, why is format 1 Still there in the website? BESCOM
officials are insisting on format 1 inspite of applying online. Format 1 must
be abolished.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Submission of completion
report (Format 5) must be made online. Submission to commissioning timeline
must be strictly adhered to.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If BESCOM officials find
any deviation or discrepancy in installation, the same must be put up online
within a time frame.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The delay in commissioning
(If any) after submission of work completion report (Format 5) must be
documented and monitored.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hybrid inverter empaneled
by BESCOM by name <b>Studer </b>has a
different grid interconnection Topology. Many BESCOM officials are not
accepting this grid interconnection Topology though the inverter is empaneled.
This is causing many delays and cost and time overrun.</span></li>
<li><b><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Best
is to have a single point of contact for all SRTPV approvals. That is
notwithstanding the sub-division, there must be a single point of contact in

<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Payment is not happening on time.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Meter readers are unable to take the
EXPORT and IMPORT readings.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In Spite of installing SRTPV system,
consumer is receiving normal bills with arbitrary readings.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Meter reader is sometime confused with
the check meter (Abolishing check meter is a welcome move by BESCOM )</span></li>

Time and again roads were converted into rivers . Many residents have had pathetic time negotiating rainwater rushing into their homes.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Poor planning and corrupt administration has been completely exposed by the condition of the roads . Yet no one seems to be be held accountable for the condition of the pathetic roads. Motorists and pedestrians are having a tough time commuting in bengaluru and yet no civic body has assured any help and no authority or no person is held responsible for the chaos on the city roads .</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Over the years, i have made hundreds of representations to civic authorities (BBMP) and elected representatives (From corporators to MLA) . Have met commissioners , Mayors. MPs, MLA and even two chief ministers . One common thing among every person in authority is that they are all ever busy and no one is responsible (neither a solution) for the problem at hand.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">No person in authority wants to talk about the problem at hand. The political authority blames on bureaucratic authorities and vice versa.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Take the case of a pothole on the road. To start with, if the authorities had done their job properly and if they were competent enough, there should not have been any pothole in the first place . But as it stands today, Bengaluru roads has 30,000 potholes on record. It is shameful on the authorities to have actually given out such a number. Looks like they are proud to publish their inefficiency and incompetency. 75 years of independence and we cannot lay a 1 km of pothole free road. Yet what is important today is beef and not roads.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Coming back to potholes on roads , On the bureaucratic side there are the following people responsible to either have laid a better road or at least fix the damage. It starts from the ward engineer, You have a junior engineer, Then you have the Assistant engineer, You have the assistant executive engineer, Then comes executive engineer, Then is the superinedentent engineer, On top comes a chief engineer, On top of him is Engineer in chief. Parallel to these people there is Executive engineer (Road works), Executive engineer (Major roads). On top of all these people comes the steel frame of the administration It starts from the assistant commissioner , Then is the Deputy commissioner, on top of him is the additional commissioner, Then we have Joint commisioner, Then is the special commissioner and on top is the commissioner. Over all these commisoners sits the development commissoner , with him sits the joint secretary (Urban development), with him is the additional secretary (Urban development), Over them sits the Secretary (Urban development). On him sits the additional chief secretary and top of them all sits the Chief secretary. Technically this line can be extended to secretaries in the union government as well all the way till cabinet secretary. All of them have the authority but none of them are accountable , answerable and not even accessible.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Coming to political side , the line of responsibility and accountability starts from the corporator or the councillor of the area, then comes the MLA, The mayor of the city , Then is the MP, Then is the urban development minister and on top of all sits the chief minister . Technically this can be extended all the way till PM. Again all of them have the authority but none of them are accountable , answerable and not even accessible.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ask any of the above people on who is responsible for the pathetic condition of the Benagluru roads , the unanimous answer will be <span style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“NOT ME”. </span>All the above authorities get the best cars, get drivers, fat pay , carry the best phone, Have personal secretaries and so on but no one is accountable nor answerable.<span style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span>According to the present system and the so called rank and file of our administrative set up no one in the above set of authorities is responsible for the pathetic roads in the city. If by your misfortune you end up hurting yourself or others while doing the misadventure of riding on the city roads, you are a negligent driver but the road is world class.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">One set of political leadership is busy with pleasing their bosses in the center and the other class is busy worshipping their leader. Misplaced priorities has been the hallmark of the indian political system over the last two decades. Present leadership is more about PR and creating controversies than any real ground work. Unseen Ram (I am sure he does not need a temple), beef , celebrating birthdays of freedom fighters is more important than nutrition, roads and hygiene.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Go to the bureaucratic authorities. You must be lucky to find one in the first place . Everyone is very busy but no one is answerable . from top to bottom there is “Sahebru” attitude and status quo is the most favorite passion and perhaps duty of the almost all concerned.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Worst is even disheartening . Elected representatives and civic authorities have gone on rounds in the city and uploading pictures of their inspection of the damage. Some of the comments they have received on their pages are “We are proud of you”, “True leader”, “We need people like you”. Come on , are we any kind of elite democracy ? These are the exact people responsible for the mess and we are here glorifying them just because they had the courtesy of atleast seeing the damage.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The poor citizen is just caught up in this mess . The poor citizen has to just increase his prayers before stepping out of the house . May be the combined effort of our civic authorities and elite politicians has increased the citizen’s faith in God. Perhaps the only other vent for the anguished motorist is his fellow motorist with whom he can pick up a fight and vent out his anger.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #323232; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Last month , myself and couple of my friends were on a road trip across many places inIndia. We covered 5800 Kms in 9 days across 10 states and 2 union territories. We started from Bengaluru and </span><span style="color: #323232; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">drove up to chandigarh touching the western ghats, , the Vindhyas and the Aravallis. We covered lengths of Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana and the union territory of Dadra and nagar haveli to reach Chandigarh. On the return journey , we touched Delhi, UP, MP, Maharashtra, Telangana, AP and reached back to Bengaluru.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It was a memorable trip. We saw some of the cleanest and filthiest parts of India. We Saw the best and worst roads of the country. We had a chance to taste plethora of delicacies from from chikkis of Lonavala to sweets of Gujrat, Amazing lassi of Rajasthan, parathas of chandigarh, chats of delhi to spicy food of Andhra.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This was my second road trip almost in the same route . One lifetime will be insufficient to understand the diversity of this country . Our country is amazing in more than one ways . One such thing is our culture . Though the country boasts of a very rich history and culture , people of my generation will not always find it to be always true.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">One such trait in our culture is the culture of cleanliness. Again in this trip, we saw Chandigarh, arguably the cleanest part of India and also saw Ajmer and jabalpur, perhaps one of the filthiest parts of the country.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Swachh bharat is a much talked and much hyped national program by the current central government. Notwithstanding the initiatives of the government , it is the primary duty of every citizen in the country to keep the county clean. In our childhood, we were taught in school that “cleanliness is godliness”. In my opinion, keeping the country clean must be included as a “fundamental duty” in the constitution .</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The least we can do to keep the country clean is at least keep our heritage sites, our monuments , our places of worship clean.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In this trip, we had been to India gate in New Delhi. This monument is a mark of respect to all our soldiers who have sacrificed their life in line of duty. India gate is in the heart of New delhi, about 1 KM away from the Indian parliament, the seat of power . It is from this parliament ;mission “Swacch Bharat” was launched. Our PM Narendra modi , one of his pet projects being Swachh Bharat sits in this very Parliament house.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It is painful to see the plight of India gate. It is used as a picnic spot. Numerous street vendors crowd the place. In-spite of dustbins provided , most people throw trash on the lawns, roads and the water bodies. Paper cups, chips packets, Pani puri plates etc are to be seen everywhere around India gate.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The least we can do to our soldiers is to atleast keep an emblem built in their respect clean. It is an irony that our PM who launched this Swachh Bharat mission sits just one KM from this iconic structure.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Me and my friends started cleaning up the place. My friend avinash was in deep knee pain . Inspite of the pain, he started picking up paper cups and ice cream candies. We went around picking up bits and pieces. We were hopeful that some people may join us . To our surprise, not a single person joined us. We just went about our job. There were hundreds of people around, not one joined us. Some were passing comments while few were supervising us.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Then came the most disgusting part. One gentleman walking with his wife and little daughter passed by us and threw his tea cup right in front of me. He had no sense of shame or guilt. Perhaps he did not notice that we were cleaning. When i picked up his cup, he did say sorry. But the point here is not about saying sorry. He just thought it is ok to throw the cup on the lawn.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Strange country , we are !! We are spending thousands of crores on clean India mission while many people just do not bother to put the trash in the dustbin just a few yards away.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It is just the sheer ignorance and disrespect to the country and fellow countrymen that drives some people not to care . Not sure what the solution for this is but i feel that this attitude is deeply ingrained in our culture.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Few days later, we move south and come to the district of Chandrapur in Central india located in one of the most backward regions of India, Vidarbha.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Vidarbha is in the news for all the wrong reasons and is one of the driest and poorest regions of the country .</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We had a chance to interact with a few students of Sardar patel Mahavidyalaya in chandrapur. My friend Avinash was to deliver a talk there. Experience in this college was totally different.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We drove past a beautiful lake called Ramala lake before reaching the college. We were wondering how the lake was so clean in a particularly dirty town. Just before arriving at chandrapur, we visited nagpur and the lake experience in Nagpur was not at all great. So we did not have high hopes on Chandrapur. But the Ramala lake was a totally different story.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The students of this college had made numerous petitions to the town administrations to desilt and clean the lake. When their petitions did not work, they took the task on themselves. Students made groups and started cleaning the lake and de-weeding the catchment . They formed groups and stood at the lakes during the immersion of Ganesha Idols and directed the devotees to the designated place for immersion . They have planted numerous trees around the lake.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Few students shared their experience in their efforts. Apparently locals did not help them but instead ridiculed them. Local residents did not come to their help. In Spite of this the students used to show up daily and clean the lake and the surroundings .</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Every student in this college has a mandate to plant one tree and maintain it for three years. They have a green council among the students which looks into various green initiatives in the college campus.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">India is a land of dichotomies and diversity. Perhaps it is this dichotomy and diversity that makes this land so interesting. However there are many practices and behaviour which are ingrained in the cultural fabric of this land that just refuses to change, cleanliness being one.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Swacch Bharat, Clean India ,all these are really good and must be appreciated, respected and followed. But these missions do not succeed very well if there is still a medieval mindset among the people of the country.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It is not the laws that govern the country. It is the people who govern the country. Country cannot be governed by law “enforcement”, it can only be governed and cleaned when law is “respected”.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In January 2015, IEEE (Institute of electrical and electronics engineers) New york wanted to try some new technologies in Solar energy at a few places in India. They had asked me find out a test site. I had suggested them a school near Kukke subramanya, in the heart of western ghats in Karnataka. For some reason, by August 2015, they backed out of the experiment in India. I had however promised the school that i would help them out in their power situation.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Gopalakrishna School in Puttur Taluk near kukke subramanya is a partially government aided Kannada medium school. They have a pretty poor pass percentage in class X. Most students stay in nearby hilly areas with poor access to electricity. Though this school is connected to state power utility grid, the power supply is erratic and they do not have power for most parts of the day .The school conducts special evening and night classes for class X students from mid january till the class X exams are over. So the boys and girls of class X students stay up in the school from January till mid april.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The school is located in in the forest range and for all practical purposes does not have power supply. The school faces a lot of problems during the months of Jan to April when students stay back in the school for classes and reading. The students had to put up with darkness .The school authorities were using Kerosene lamps and torches for classes and cooking.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">By January 2016, i thought i must raise some money from friends and family for putting up a solar power unit in the school. I approached a few of my clients and they readily agreed to partially fund the project. My sister Jhanavi (Bindu) sponsored a big chunk of the project. </span><img alt="14633275_10208577291242648_9106425945763727560_o" class=" wp-image-844 alignright" data-attachment-id="844" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="14633275_10208577291242648_9106425945763727560_o" data-large-file="https://sonumysore.files.wordpress.com/2017/04/14633275_10208577291242648_9106425945763727560_o.jpg?w=368&h=276?w=869" data-medium-file="https://sonumysore.files.wordpress.com/2017/04/14633275_10208577291242648_9106425945763727560_o.jpg?w=368&h=276?w=300" data-orig-file="https://sonumysore.files.wordpress.com/2017/04/14633275_10208577291242648_9106425945763727560_o.jpg?w=368&h=276" data-orig-size="2048,1536" data-permalink="https://sonumysore.wordpress.com/2017/04/01/satisfaction/14633275_10208577291242648_9106425945763727560_o/#main" height="276" sizes="(max-width: 368px) 100vw, 368px" src="https://sonumysore.files.wordpress.com/2017/04/14633275_10208577291242648_9106425945763727560_o.jpg?w=368&h=276" srcset="https://sonumysore.files.wordpress.com/2017/04/14633275_10208577291242648_9106425945763727560_o.jpg?w=368&h=276 368w, https://sonumysore.files.wordpress.com/2017/04/14633275_10208577291242648_9106425945763727560_o.jpg?w=736&h=552 736w, https://sonumysore.files.wordpress.com/2017/04/14633275_10208577291242648_9106425945763727560_o.jpg?w=150&h=113 150w, https://sonumysore.files.wordpress.com/2017/04/14633275_10208577291242648_9106425945763727560_o.jpg?w=300&h=225 300w" style="border: 0px; display: block; float: right; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; height: auto; line-height: inherit; margin: 26px 0px 26px 26px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" width="368" /></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">However, we still had to raise more money and we thought of the idea of crowdfunding . We put up our campaign and within a few months we got sufficient funds.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We replaced all lights by LED lights so that the power consumption goes down. We have given many spare lights so that they do not have trouble sourcing lights in case of bulb burnout.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The system was commissioned in october 2016 and the class X students have used it to the fullest for preparing for their class X exams. From Mid january , the system has helped the school authorities to cook food for the students staying in the school. The students could read comfortably thanks to the fans which could beat out the humidity. There was enough and more lights for the students to read and prepare for the exams. The school principal told me over phone today “This year we had a very comfortable time”.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">20 February 2008, around 7:30 in the evening one of my dad’s cousins calls me up and asks me “ಸುರೇಶ ಹೇಗೆ ಇದಾನೆ ?”(How is suresh doing?). That was his 13th day of hospitalisation. Many of his friends and relatives visited him in the hospital in those 13 days. I am not sure anyone knew what would happen on the 21st nor did he himself know that the sunrise on the 21st would be the last sunrise of his life.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As destiny would have it, immediately after the sunrise on the 21 February 2008, he set out for his heavenly journey. I am sure he would have had a great journey since he was always fond of travel. Not sure if he could get his favorite whiskey on the way. When he got to know that my brother is coming down, he had asked me to tell my brother to get a couple of bottles of whiskey for his brother and friends. His last wish was perhaps a bottle of whiskey not for himself ,but for his brother and friends. Even in his death bed , his spirits were quite high.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It was around 7:30 AM on the 21 morning, the same cousin called me up and asked “Body ಎಷ್ಟು ಗಂಟೆಗೆ ಬರುತ್ತೆ ?” (What time is the body coming home?). In the matter of 12 hours, Suresha had been reduced to a “Body”. Lot of people came home including a couple of my childhood friends and paid rich tributes. There was a sea of grief. There was a helpless silence. And there was “just” the body. In 12 hours , there was a sea change. The man had lost his name, his charisma and even his gender. He was just a “body”.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">At the end of the day, we will all be just a body. Is it fair ? Well, we don’t have a choice. I think many times if all our struggles are worth it. We struggle so much to make others happy, struggle to make a living, struggle for name, struggle for fame. Is all of it worth it to be just called a “body” at the end of the day ?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">May be my father never thought on these lines. Even if he had, he would not be bothered about it.He had hardly thought of himself all his life. It is true that you will not take anything with you, It is true that no one will come with you. But what is also true is what you have left behind. You have left a legacy. You have left the footsteps to follow. You have shown the value and the meaning of value. You have shown the beauty of life. That is the truth.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">No family gathering goes without remembering my dad. No function is complete without remembering him. That is the legacy. My son is introduced sometimes as Suresh’s grandson and not as Sunil’s son. That is the legacy. It is Krishna’s good fortune. But krishna’s grandfather is not there today to celebrate the fortune.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">His message is quite clear. One must not think about being reduced to a body one day. That is inevitable. But celebrating life and living it to the fullest is the meaning of a meaningful life.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My father’s life is the story of grit,courage, compassion and generosity. A mighty spirited man who fought an open heart surgery when he was 27 (In 1970, he traveled unreserved, standing from Baroda to Mumbai to undergo the surgery). That was followed up with a By-Pass surgery in 1993. He then scaled Badrinath and kedarnath in 1999.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">He had very meagre resources to bring us up. But he managed it with precision and accountability. Nothing was compromised in our upbringing. My mother used to recount few times when it was so hard for my dad to manage and yet he never turned down any of her wishes.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I am grateful for the way we were brought up. We were thought the value of money and value of time. Every value was imbibed in our upbringing. If i am living today with self respect , it is only thanks to the way i was brought up.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">His greatest asset were his brothers. He had very high respect and regards for all his brothers. He has told me a number of times that whatever we are today is only because of his brothers.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">With all that he faced in life, he was in absolute love with life. He never complained against anything and had no regrets in life. He was the first person to offer a helping hand, at times at the cost of his own health. He was known for his generosity. No one who came to him asking for help in cash or kind were turned down.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">His Last words (18-Feb-2008); Sent from ICU</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">He was seen as a helping hand in family and friends circle. Even in the extended circle, he was looked up for any help. He was the first person to attend to anyone who was sick. He was the first person to offer help if he sensed anyone was in trouble. He had gone out of his way many times to attend to people in need , at times irking my mother . Many times he had helped people in cash sacrificing his own and family needs. He was never disturbed if my mother disagreed to some of his actions. He once told me to always lift up your hand. To give is bliss. Be generous , you will never be satisfied if you want everything to yourself. Give a little, you will get it back many times over.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">He was known for his punctuality, a virtue almost neglected in our generation. I cannot recollect one instance where he was late. He used to be the first person for any event and always the most helpful one. I use to make make fun of his obsession with time. Many years later, i realise the virtue and wisdom behind it. I can only recount my behaviour and feel ashamed of it.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I do not think his behaviour , his virtue or his vision of the world would have changed if he knew he would one day be called a “body”. For that matter, i think he knew it many times over. His body has gone, but his legacy has remained.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When i see my friend’s kids playing with their grandparents, or when i hear my friends saying that grandparents are taking care of their kids, i feel very bad for krishna. Krishna has not seen his paternal grandparents. He will completely miss their love and affection. He is unfortunate that way. Hope one day he knows the virtues and values his granddad stood for.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sometimes, we children undermine our parents actions and behaviour. We do not realise what legacy and value structure their actions and words are creating. When we actually realise the legacy that is being left behind to follow, it will be too late and like in my case one can only repent and feel ashamed.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">It was cold and drizzling all morning on the third Sunday of November. I was at work . We worked all morning . After a tiring morning session at the work site , i stretched myself on the couch of a restaurant at HSR layout . I ordered the much-needed food and soda and opened facebook on my phone. The first post read ” She passed away peacefully in her bed, in her Daddy’s arms with no struggle. Her last words before the light passed out from her eyes was “Daddy”.

<span style="font-size: x-large;">This is not my first post about death. I have written earlier on my experiences centred around <a href="https://sonumysore.wordpress.com/2015/04/15/death-is-faithful/" style="border: 0px; color: #0d3d9b; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.1s ease-in 0s; vertical-align: baseline;">death</a>.

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Preeti and Srinivas are a wonderful couple. Both are Alumni of the prestigious IIM and both are Eco-Entrepreneurs. They are in fact founders of a company called <a href="http://krya.in/" style="border: 0px; color: #0d3d9b; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.1s ease-in 0s; vertical-align: baseline;">krya</a>. They do awesome work for the earth not only through their company but also through their writings.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I know Preeti through Facebook and through her columns in The Hindu.She is an amazing writer and even more amazing human being. I have read almost all her columns and her recommended books.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The posts that followed November 14 were very very touching. It was all about Maya and Maya’s “Maya”. I now know why she was named Maya. Series of poignant posts came from preeti and srinivas which i am sure moved all her friends and followers. She occasionally apologized for grieving in public, but those posts were required for her and her followers. Only a great mother can articulate her thoughts and feelings that well .</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">They wrote post after post, with beautiful pictures of Maya, right from the day of her passing on. They expressed their difficulty in accepting what had happened, and yet praying for strength for acceptance. They fondly recalled wonderful memories celebrating their angel, and recalled how she was loved by her grandparents, aunts and uncles. They wept aloud. They spoke to her asking her to come back. There was never any blame, not even on fate. Only forgiveness. When they didn’t have the strength to forgive, they prayed for strength. They expressed gratitude through writing and in person, to all the people, like the doctors at Sanjeevani, who were with them through their very challenging times; gratitude to the ‘infinitely kind universe’ for having given them such a beautiful experience of being with Maya; gratitude to all the people supporting them through their grief. Gratitude filled so many of their posts. As vegans, they shared their repentance as they chose to give Maya aattukkaal soup and cow’s milk everyday, asking for forgiveness from the mother cow and the goat. They replied to every single person who wrote to them. They announced with an apology, every time they could not be available.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">My inspiration to write this post leaving all other work for the morning came from blogger Sangeetha Sriram. Sangeetha gave me a fresh perspective of grieving. She had written about Preeti and Srinivas. In fact, the last paragraph is taken from her blog.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Few days after Maya’s company was summoned by the almighty, devastation struck Chennai where Preeti and Srinivas live. Chennai was flooded and life was thrown out of gear . All of us got busy posting about the devastation and that so and so are to be blamed and how Amma is taking political mileage out of it.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">But that was not the case with Preeti and Srinivas. They were at ground zero coordinating relief efforts. They were with the victims sourcing relief material for them. They used social media to communicate what was needed where and made sure what ever best they could source reaches the destination. Their energy levels were phenomenal. Best part of it all is that not even once like in the case of Maya, they questioned the God’s “Maya” on chennai. It is amazing how this couple moved on and could do so much in the wake of a calamity without complaint.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">As Sangeetha points out “There is a lesson that I learnt from their experience which answered this for me. It is about Grieving.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I realize in this fresh morning that grieving has that much more energy. I now understand how and why some amazing accomplishments were made in the wake of unbearable personal loss. Sangeetha brought fresh perspective into the power of Loss.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Sangeetha writes ” Many times, in the process of grieving, we blame ourselves, someone else, a situation, God, fate or whatever. We can fool ourselves that we have “bravely moved on” but we have only locked ourselves up energetically with our experience of loss, sinking deeper into suffering. Forgiving and expressing gratitude is a big part of grieving.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">As sangeetha has so finely concluded “I learnt that truly grieving is about loving deeply, opening up, being vulnerable, forgiving, celebrating, sharing, expressing gratitude, being human, accepting, uninhibitedly crying, praying when it is hard to do all of these, so one can really heal, look forward to what lies ahead and move on. <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Grieving can be very beautiful in all its pain”.</span></em></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It is so true that we will never move on. All losses personal or otherwise will stay on. What best we can do and should do is to use the loss as strength and stand up to face the reality and calamity. Preeeti and Srinivas are real life examples of that.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I pray the almighty to give Preeti and Srinivas the streghth and patience to do more good for the society .</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is my first post on a technical topic on my personal blog. The post is in continuation with couple of discussions i had recently with some passionate practitioners of Sustainability.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The discussion started at National institute of Technology , Surathkal last month. I had been there to deliver a talk on “Sustainable Engineering, Opportunities and Challenges”. I spoke in general about social entrepreneurship models, engineering , water issues and solutions, Solar energy and some economics . Post my talk, a few students wanted to know more about why i think water and energy have to be discussed in parallel and how do these fit in the overall context of Climate Change and sustainability.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Though i could give convincing answers to the students, i thought, i must write something succinctly to be able to myself appreciate the idea better. Hence this post.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As Population increase, demands on finite water resources and energy services threaten to push the limits of what our environment can sustain. Another compelling reason to pay heed to the water-energy nexus is climate change, which may result in significant alterations to precipitation patterns, with all that implies for altered water availability and the power derived from water.</span></div>

Water and energy also affect food security and hence there is Water -Energy – Food Nexus.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">United Nations Water asserts in the World Water Development report 2014, ” Water , Energy and food are inextricably linked….The global community is well aware of food, energy and water challenges , but has so far addressed them in isolation,” There are many synergies and trade-offs between water and energy use and food production. Here are some examples from the report ;</span></div>

In fact, i tell every other travel enthusiast to see the pooram at least once in a lifetime. Poorams are amazing for the drums, for the fireworks and most importantly for the Elephants.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Few days back, one of the founders of CUPA , Suparna Bakshi Ganguly called me to ask if I could help them set up a rainwater harvesting unit and draw a water management plan for one of their new campuses situated in the town of Malur about 50 kms from Bangalore. I was amazed when she said it is an Elephant shelter with one elephant now and one more to join soon. CUPA had in fact rescued an Elephant and were rehabilitating it .</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So today, myself, Suparna and Sangeetha Iyer drove to Malur to see the place and the elephant. Cruising along the Kolar highway , we discussed forests, wildlife and politics. I was looking forward to see the elephant.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After a little drive in the slush, we arrived at the 2 acre solar fenced campus where “Anisha” was housed. She was equally excited to see us with jaggery , Bananas and papaya.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Three years back , when she could not obey her master’s commands of “Sit a</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">nd Stand”, she was diagnosed with arthritis in the front legs. Her master tried to squeeze the best out of her in the temple but when he was unable to manage her. Her expenses were very high and her revenues were almost nil. So he decided to somehow trade her across the border to Kerala. Suparna was little hesitant to reveal the identity of the owner nor did she tell me the owner’s true intentions . From what i understood, the owner was looking for someone who could manage Anisha for the rest of her life.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Luckily for “Anisha”, when her owner was struggling with the forest officials to move her across the borders, he bumped into Supraja, a sea turtle enthusiast . Supraja was so moved by the plight of the elephant that she offered to take it along with her. Supraja contacted CUPA.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #323232; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It was a tough decision for CUPA. Maintaining an elephant is no easy task. They had to raise enough funds, they had to find land for her. The bigger task was to convince the Indian Bureaucracy to let them take her across two borders. True to their reputation, the Indian bureaucracy were very helpful and gave CUPA the permission in “JUST” one year.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In the meantime, CUPA had to find a land for “Anisha”. As the saying goes, the universe conspires for good intentions (but somehow universe has forgotten the Indian bureaucracy), a farmer in Malur who was introduced to Suparna through some contacts, readily agreed to spare his 2.5 acres of land for no return. It is a fertile land with one small lake close by. I also met the noble farmer krishnappa today.</span></div>

However, he is not having any help and the difference in climate is not keeping him well.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Nevertheless, Suparna and team are keeping a bold face. For CUPA and Suparna, it is not just about Anisha but it is the pain behind the shackles that is moving them. CUPA and Sangeetha have moved the Supreme court for the cause of these majestic elephants. Their relentless fight has forced the supreme court to issue interim orders for better treatment and living condition of the elephants in Madurai and Kancheepuram. They are putting up a bold fight despite life threats from the elephant trade mafia. In fact Kancheepuram has decided to hand over a few elephants to CUPA. CUPA is planning to resettle them somewhere near Chennai in a 13-acre land.</span></div>

Early this week, we decided to drive to the beautiful Malnad hills to experience the Monsoon. Rain gods showered more blessings than we had asked for. Incessant heavy rains accompanied us throughout the drive from Mysore to Somwarpet to Madikeri and Kukke Subramanya. Life was thrown out of gear in entire Madikeri district. Hundreds of electric poles were damaged, Many trees uprooted . Schools and colleges were closed . Many roads were cut off for traffic.</div>

We were forced to stay in Madikeri on Wednesday (24 June ) en route Kukke Subramanya from Somwarpet. It was a very pleasant stay in one of the well known hotels in Madikeri. The next day morning, I went out for a walk to Mercera fort at 7:30 AM. As soon as I got out of my hotel, it started raining heavily. I managed to walk enjoying the rains.</div>

The Mercera fort now belongs to the Archeology Department. Till very recently, the office of the Deputy commissioner of Madikeri district was inside the fort Mercera. Almost all offices have been shifted out.</div>

I took shelter under the portico of the public library next to a tea stall. As i sipped two cups of hot ginger tree enjoying the early morning rains, I met two interesting professionals. One of them denied being photographed and quoted .</div>

The Library opens at 9:00 AM and Raagini was at her office by 8:20 AM. It was raining so heavily that even walking was difficult on the streets of Madikeri. <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span>Raagini came with her husband in a motor cycle half an hour ahead of time.

Raagini said, since the DC office had been shifted, not many people visit the Library for reading newspaper. The Public would not come anyway because of torrential rain. Picking up News paper on the way, braving the torrential Malnad rains, turning up 30 minutes ahead of time to the government library where very few people show up calls for true dedication and commitment to work. Very glad that such committed individuals are still there in the Government.</div>

Shnathamma reports to work at her contractor’s office at 5:50 AM everyday irrespective of weather conditions. Her work goes on up to 1:30 PM non stop. Shanthamma and her team tour more than half of Madikeri’s central business area to collect the municipal waste.</div>

Shanthamma and her team arrived when I was enjoying my tea around 8:30 AM. It was raining very heavily. Her team of three members got out of the truck. All were just having a plastic sheet wrapped around them and a plastic sheet to cover their head. Notwithstanding the rain, they went about their job of collecting waste from the main office building, the garden, the library and the canteen. Shanthamma stood next to me in the shelter outside the small tea shop. She answered my questions. She refused my offer of tea. I was thinking that she is waiting for the rain to stop. But that was not the case. She was waiting for me to finish my tea so that she could take the cup with her. I was amazed by her dedication to work. As son as I finished my tea, even before I could pay the tea vendor, she took my tea-cup and shanthamma and team were on their way to their next destination in the heavy rain.</div>
