“Access to clean drinking water should be treated as a fundamental right. Improved access to clean drinking water can be empowering with many positive spin offs such as improved quality of life, reduced health risks and increased income among those communities which currently lack easy access to it. While the government is making an honest effort to solve the issue, a country as large and complex as India needs all stakeholders to come together to address it. Water management is in the DNA of Ashirvad and we are happy to partner in this initiative.”

- Deepak Mehrotra, Managing Director, Ashirvad Pipes
