Cauvery Dispute !! Possible solution - My Thoughts

-
The Karnataka state erupted with rage with the Supreme Court passing verdict on Cauvery river to release 15TMC water to Tamil Nadu. As Tamil Nadu rejoiced this verdict the people of Karnataka erupted with rage and staged a state wide protest on Sept9th, 2016 with mixed response especially from the IT companies, which were later forced to close down.

Rather bringing in state owned issues, it's important to look at this issue more holistically and from National perspective.



Water is one of the most important element, necessary for the survival of human beings. Therefore priority should always be for "DRINKING / BASIC REQUIREMENTS", then for other purposes. But at the same time the life of many are dependent on the crops. Therefore, this would be never ending issue if not solved with the interference of a third party in this topic. 

From my basic level of understanding and some common sense have proposed the below : 


For an instance let's forget units and consider the above example : 

Case 1 : Water Available
With 10,000 water available, it's first important to serve the people dependent on Kaveri for drinking purpose. A minimum requirement of water per person needs to be calculated and have arrived at figure 3 in this example (this is most critical to calculate and can be easily done with random sampling across all states).  Therefore, estimating the population from all 4 states, the water is first distributed to these states. (2,700 in above shown example) . 

Thus around 7,300 is left for other purposes, mainly irrigation. Now, consider the total irrigation area around Kaveri basin and thus distribute water accordingly. In above example thus water gets divided based on irrigation land / Kaveri basin in all states. 

This is a case where water is available, now let's analyze the same with water scarcity.
Case 2 : Water Scarcity


When there is water scarcity, first drinking/basic requirement and after that with water left to be used for irrigation purpose. It is obvious that this would impact the crops in the areas on Kaveri basin due to lack of water for the same.

This where i propose that the Central Govt. should step in and provide relief to farmers who are hit  by drought. Since this would be the loss of farmer for one season only, the Govt can subsidize / provide relief to cover up the basic costs of the farmer.




Through this we can avoid many un-necessary incidents which could result in loss of public and govt. property. Bandhs which would cause loss to economy of both the states.

These are "My Thoughts" of resolving this long pending topic on Kaveri, ultimately keeping peace and brotherhood in mind of both the states. After all we are all first Indians.

JAI HIND!!

4 Ways of saying "NO" for organization and career growth !!

World is being a more competitive place and to retain customers and increase the sales / turnover of an organisation, there are many things a company can plan / strategize. But many times the company plans to achieve these strategies by squeezing the existing resources. But since many employees fear saying "NO" to the managers, they take the tasks / additional load which would impact the productivity levels of their existing tasks : Am not saying here that each task an employee receives, must say "NO" to it, but my point is that the employee needs to evaluate it before accepting.  1. What is current occupancy level ?  Nobody in the organisation is working for 100% of their working hours. This is a known fact to all. But the occupancy level differs for each employee. The employee needs to evaluate the occupancy level and based on the same if it is more than 75% then he can explain the same to the manager in a logical way to say "NO" to t...

First day to office, get the best shirt you have, get the best trousers, polish the shoes until it shines like a mirror, get the best perfume etc etc..... So it is the best you put on to impress the people you will be meeting in first day of first / new company. Let's look into some of the must do things as an employee joining a new organization : 1. Be who you are : While they say "First Impression is the best impression", be who you are, do not over impress. While many employees take the extra effort to be accepted in new organization, what they miss out is probably that this extra effort would cost them in future. As people build expectations with your initial few interactions and to retain the impression with them new employees continue to deliver the extra effort which would drain out their energy. Therefore, be who you are !! 2. Listen carefully : Open your ears widely to listen every bit of conversation. Restrain as much as you can from partici...
