Came across this interesting news item today.
”In the shadow of its new suburbs, torrid growth and 300- million-plus-strong middle clbum, India is struggling with a sanitation emergency. From the stream in Devi’s village to the nation’s holiest river, the Ganges, 75 percent of the country’s surface water is contaminated by human and agricultural waste and industrial effluent. Everyone in Indian cities is at risk of consuming human feces, if they’re not already, the Ministry of Urban Development concluded in September.” |

Interestingly, a lot of people are saying this downturn makes it a ripe market for investing and entrepreneurship. In India, the enthusiasm for it is greater than ever:

Hopefully the new breed will earn the country some wealth that will help them cope with their mbumive sanitation issue. |
