Suprio Das, A man who stood for the people and worked for them with passion. After watching his you tube video I was moved. We all are aware that water is our basic necessity without which we cannot survive. But Do We ever have a thought about the people who are not getting clean water for drinking? The basic necessity that they are deprived of. Do we ever feel the need of making the situation better or taking a initiative in helping the common man?
Shocking Facts:
More than 3.4 million people die each year from water, sanitation, and hygiene-related causes. Nearly all deaths, 99 percent, occur in the developing world.
Lack of access to clean water and sanitation kills children at a rate equivalent of a jumbo jet crashing every four hours.
780 million people lack access to an improved water source; approximately one in nine people.
The water and sanitation] crisis claims more lives through disease than any war claims through guns.

Various challenges that he had to face to make his innovation a success and to provide chlorinated water to the people in backward areas.
