The Draft National Water Policy 2012 (DNWP 2012) released by the government earlier this year sought to “take cognizance of the existing situation and to propose a framework for creation of an overarching system of laws and institutions and for a plan of action with a unified national perspective” to deal with water as a “natural resource, fundamental to life, livelihood, food security and sustainable development.”

David Cameron, the British Prime Minister visited India recently. His visit caused much more of a flutter in Pakistan than in India. They are still livid with his statement in Delhi that Pakistan is exporting terror. After Zardari's visit to London, both Cameron and Zardari have now decided to forget what was said in Delhi about Pakistan. We will have to wait and see what really happens. In India, the main issue on Cameron's visit was how to pronounce his name – most people called him Cameroon, and not Cameron. May be a hangover of the World Cup. In any case, what is in a name – the foreign media insists on calling Manmohan Singh – Man-Mohaan Singh, though we shudder to think what they will do to Delhi's Chief Minister during the reporting of the Commonwealth Games.
