Over 200 people of Zone-8 learned about the benefits of rainwater harvesting system during a day-long workshop that held at RMC’s Mahoba Bazar based Zone Commissioner office from 11 am to 5 pm on Saturday. The groundwater expert Virendra Giri Goswami informed people about the technical details and benefits of modern day’s most effective water conservation method - rainwater harvesting system.
Giri said it was high time people should start saving water. Pointing towards the lowering groundwater table in the capital city, Giri said rainwater harvesting system was the only method through which people could restore rainwater.
He informed people how rainwater harvesting could ensure sufficient water availability throughout the year in the houses that have bore wells which usually get dry during summer. Similarly, he said the people who do not have bore well in their houses and face water crisis could get adequate water by constructing recharge pit under the rainwater harvesting system.
Giri said the optimum benefit of the rainwater harvesting system can only be obtained when it would be installed through the experts. If people would prefer any unskilled agency to install the system then they might not only get polluted water but the quality of the system would also be below par, he added.
On the occasion, corporators Sunil Chandrakar (Shaheed Bhagat Singh ward), Renuka Bakshi (Swami Atmanand ward), Narad Kaushal (Sant Kabirdas ward), Bajrang Nishad (Ramkrishna Paramhans ward) and Manish Dhruv (Veer Sawarkar Nagar ward) along with municipal’s Zone-8 officials were also present.

During summit to promote investment in projects based on Biotechnology
Raipur, July 03, 2010
There are plentiful opportunities in Biotechnology and the sector will boom in the coming era. The industries based on biotechnology in Chhattisgarh would turnaround the state’s conditions and place it right on top in the global platform. The words were expressed by Chief Minister Raman Singh during the day-long summit to promote investment in projects based on Biotechnology organised under the joint aegis of Information Technology & Biotechnology Department and Chhattisgarh Infotech and Biotech Promotion Society (CHiPS) on Saturday.
Singh said although cement, steel and power played key role in the development of the state but the new sectors like Information Technology and Biotechnology sectors would equally be the major contributors in increasing the GDP of Chhattisgarh in the coming years.
He said the production in the industries based on horticulture, animal husbandry, food processing and forest produce processing could be increased to manifolds with the use of Biotechnology. The technology can also be effectively utilised in discovering medicines and vaccines of contagious diseases in humans, flora, fauna and crops, he added. Singh further said that the scientists could also take help of the technology in researching better treatment process of patients suffering from falciparum malaria and sickle cell anemia.
Appealing to the industrialists arrived from different parts of the country to attend the summit to invest in Biotechnology Singh assured them that the state government would provide every facility to the industries based on the particular sector under the provisions of its new industrial policy. He also appealed to the researchers in the field to bring change in the life of the poor through their mass-oriented discoveries. He said Chhattisgarh could only become prominent state in the country by exploiting the opportunities in new sectors.
Singh said the state was rapidly developing and in just ten years it had achieved remarkable growth in different sectors including 4.92 percent in Agriculture, 15.09 percent in industrial field and 13.08 percent of Annual Growth Rate (AGR) in other fields. The per capital income was only Rs 10,900 when the state was formed, but now it had increased to Rs 38,000 at present, he added. The per capital power consumption rate which is one of the major norms of development is also much more than the national average, he said. Singh informed the investors that the Chhattisgarh was the only state in the country that had reached to ‘zero power cut’ status. The state also aims to produce about 15,000-20,000 MW power in the next five years, he said.
On infrastructural development of the state Singh said the government had always taken quick decisions and had even approved hefty amounts for tribal areas like Rs 700 crore for Sarguja and Rs 800 crore for Bastar for road constructions in one day.
The programme was presided over by PWD and School Education Minister Brijmohan Agrawal who said the discoveries in Biotechnology can make the lifestyle of common people better. He said the as a subject, Biotechnology still required proper publicity among the students as many could not pick it owing to ignorance.
Agriculture Minister Chandrashekhar Sahu, who was present in the summit as special guest, said that Chhattisgarh could become best example in the country on development of Biotechnology by the extensive use of the field in relevant industries and research laboratories.
