IITDelhi Alumni Association (Mumbai Chapter ) has more than 400 members who are alumni of the institute. We are actively considering how we can  contribute to society. Rain Water harvesting is one area we all felt is very critical in today’s scenario, and I have been asked to study this area and take up leadership for co-ordinating implementation of projects in and around
Mumbai.

We would like to get involved in is to understand your requirements and then bring in technology providers/service providers
to implement the project.There will be no cost for our services, and you will need to negotiate directly with the consultant. Our only aim is to see that people who are interested in RWH are able to implement their projects.

I have a regular corporate job, and plan to devote Saturdays and Sundays to this activity. Rajiv Ranjan
