Workshop on \'Traditional water management and sanitation in Gujarat\'

Date:08 Feb 2011

<p>Professor Anil Gupta welcomed all the participants for the workshop on &lsquo;Traditional water management and sanitation in Gujarat&rsquo; organized at IIM campus on 31st December 2010. He gave a brief about the aim of organizing this workshop. He emphasized upon the need of conserving every single drop of water and conveyed the message by an interesting two thousand years old Zen story.&nbsp; <br />
A monk was known to teach in a very subtle manner.&nbsp; He had many disciples and he tried to teach them individually according to their sensibilities.&nbsp;&nbsp; One day, a particular disciple started to argue with him about the need for conservation.&nbsp; The monk asked him to bring a glass of water.&nbsp; The disciple brought the water.&nbsp; When monk had taken the water, the disciple took the empty glass, and on the way back to the kitchen, threw away the remaining droplets in the glass by inverting the glass a few times.&nbsp; The monk saw him doing that.&nbsp; He called him back and asked as to what had the disciple actually done.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />
<br />
The disciple said, &ldquo;Nothing, I just brought the glass of water as you advised and then took the empty glass back&rdquo;.&nbsp; The monk asked, &ldquo;Is that all try to remember everything&rdquo;.&nbsp; The disciple narrated the entire sequence of steps he took to bring the water and then added, &ldquo;While taking the glass back, I threw away just a few drops of water&rdquo;.&nbsp; <br />
<br />
The monk said, &ldquo;What! Just&hellip;.&rdquo;<br />
Thus, Professor emphatically stressed upon not a single drop of water to be wasted.</p>
