Drinking water – Cause

This has become a burning fire inside of me as I see and read about all the issues here around me.
Why am I doing this ? Because I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me and together we can do much more for the community , City and country.

Water Shortage is the Biggest Challenge here in my city and in India.

Especially drinking water. Power supply is also effected majorly because of water shortage and that’s another monster to deal with and many of you know about the power cuts here in Andhra Pradesh and other states. Power cut for 5- 10 hrs a day. In the peak summer its very difficult to survive not only to bear the heat, but the power cut effects all industries in the country.

I am not a politician/minister who can reform the law or hold a high position in the state department and make necessary changes to make sure there are no leakages of precious water around the city and come up with better solutions to harvest rain water and to store that water for use later during the year.Protect water spills and many other things that could be done. Work more effectively to keep thief’s and unapproved water connections in check.

But what I can do is gather up saints and Pray to God , because he is able to give rains and change the system inside out that otherwise is corrupted.Isn’t it a shame that a country full of engineers and super intelligent people cannot do anything , but just comment and compromise with the current conditions and system around us.

All things are possible for God. You can pray to make a difference , so I request you to join me in this time of need.if you are not in India , but are moved by our condition please say a prayer for us , so the most merciful God will provide for us.

Invite prayer warriors , intercessors ,believers and those who has a heart for this cause. Even if it is spending only 2 minutes of your day in prayer for this need. Please Join me.

The Nano, starting at about 100,000 rupees ($1,980), is 10.2 feet (3.1 meters) long, has one windshield wiper, a 623cc rear engine, and a diminutive trunk, according to the company’s Web site. Excited about the launch of the people’s car, the Nano, Tata Group Chairman Ratan Tata today said the project was not conceived to satisfy his ego, nor was the Rs 1-lakh pricing a “gimmick”.”I am very satisfied and excited about this launch today and Nano is not for my ego-trip…Certainly, not an ego-trip at all,” Tata said at an editors meeting here

Tata Sons Chairman, Ratan Tata poses alongside the Tata Nano. Tata said the endeavour was never to build the cheapest car but to provide an affordable form of transportation to the average Indian family. He, however, hastened to add that “we made a promise (of a Rs 1,00,000 car) and that we’ve kept the promise.”

People look at the world’s cheapest car, Tata Nano, displayed at a showroom in Kolkata. Since the Nano was first shown, the main production plant had to be moved from Singur in West Bengal following protests over acquisition of agricultural lands by the State Government for the setting up of Nano factory

The Nano booking forms would be available at all World of Titan showrooms across the country between April 4 and April 25, Titan Industries said in a statement. World of Titan network is the wristwatch retail chain of Titan Industries.

At number nine, Savitri Jindal, Non-Executive Chairperson of steel and power conglomerate O P Jindal group, is the first and only Indian to feature among world’s 20 richest women enlisted by Forbes. Indu Jain of Times of India fell from the ranks after making the cut in previous years.

When Savitri’s late husband O P Jindal died in a 2005 helicopter crash, the subsequent transfer of wealth made her India’s richest woman. Her net worth today is $6 billion. The group has nearly 50 plants in India and abroad, including South American countries like Chile, Bolivia and Peru. The combined net worth of the twenty women featured in the list is a mammoth $160 billion. They represent industries like manufacturing, finance, real estate and commodities. The two top spots belong to Wal-Mart heiresses Christy Walton and Alice Walton with a net worth of $20 billion and $19.5 billion respectively. Forbes credited Wal-Mart, the world’s largest retailer for powering through the global recession.

It recorded $400 billion in annual sales last year alone. Last year’s number one Liiane Bettencourt who is worth $15 billion is placed at number three this year. Daughter of Eugene Schueller, the founder of L’Oreal, has had a controlling stake of 27 percent in L’Oreal for the last four decades.

Last year she was worth $20 billion.Also in the list are, Susanne Klatten, Birgit Rausing, Jacqueline Mars, Anne Cox Chambers, Abigail Johnson and Charlene de Carvalho-Heineken. Some high profile female billionaires who didn’t make it to the list include Oprah Winfrey, J K Rowling and former eBay Chief, Margaret Whitman.
