Any more information you want to mention :
Since 1995, I have been involved in a door to door campaign in Chennai city trying to create awareness, among urbanites, regarding the importance of Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) to augment and sustain the precious ground water resource. In January 2002, A few residents of Chennai, who were concerned about the vital issue of water availability in general and sustenance of its sources through RWH in particular formed the Akash Ganga Trust. The vision of our trust is to attain country-wide Self Reliance in water and the mission is to popularise and promote RWH, waste water reuse and water conservation in daily use in urban and peri-urban areas and Ecological sanitation in rural areas. As a first step towards achieving our vision, the Trust set up a Rain Centre in Chennai, a one-stop information and assistance centre for rainwater harvesting. This centre, the first of its kind in our country, was inaugurated by the then Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu in August 2002. In the last few years, the centre besides creating awareness about our mission among various sections of the society, has been instrumental in helping the residents of the state in implementing RWH in their respective homes. Our trust has also constructed a few composting toilets in a coastal town near Chennai. All these activities have been carried out free of charge.
