On the first day the main highlights were the two substantial sessions on the “Direction of Water Sector in the 12th Five Year Plan” and “Draft National Water Policy, 2012”. Dr. Mihir Shah, Member planning Commission chaired the first session. This was followed by presentations by the Chair Persons/members of some of the Working Groups/ Sub Groups of 12th Plan. Prof. A.

The workshop received a positive feedback and many eminent scholars from the water sector participated in the workshop, Rohini Nilekani, Dr. Achyut Das, Dr. Bharat Patankar, Dr. Biksham Gujja, Dr. Dinesh K. Mishra, Prof. Vijay Paranjape, Prof. S. Janakarajan to name a few.
The Forum completed the second phase of its work in March 2012 and a fresh phase has begun immediately after that. This workshop was an important opportunity to re-connect with the larger body of the Forum (meaning members and all those who have been connected with Forum’s work in one way or the other) to review the work done so far, get a fresh mandate for its future work and programmatic thrust, get input and suggestions on a draft vision-mission document of the Forum and streamline its decision making processes.
