Dear Boddunan Family Members
The reason i was away for a long time was that I was working on an awards called "NABARD Rural Innovations Awards 2012". I am happy to share that our company, Smaat Aqua won this award! I had invested my time and efforts to get this award!!! yey! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
There were 1400 applications where 30 were selected and 12 were finalists of which, our company was one among the 12!

hahah,Kalyani Maverick is not Nagarjuna
Many times i tried to ask Maverick who is Mr Bodduna, but he always avoided my question or better, he might even block this thread!
No sandya, atul is not Mr Bodduna, poor fellow!
Well, sandhya do you want us to get award from MR Kapil SIbal then?
Yes, Atul is definitely not Mr. Bodduna! Well, the mystery never ceases.... :lol:
You may be assuming so because Atul ji is North Indian ;)
But anything can happen ;) :P
Oh Kalyani
coincidentally my brother in law to one of my cousins also work in Melbourne, Australia and he doesnt want to come back because he was ridiculed in India not having a degree and he earns a very good amount now in Australia !
Yes, kalyani , if given a chance, you and i could earn more there too, but i love my country and i am doing my little bit to help my country by participating in water projects for the rural India :)
You know, bringing pure water to the poor really matters a most to a poor family ,because the women and children can stay home(rather than travelling miles to fetch water), the men can go happily to work and moreover their hospital bills are reduced......
Yes Swetha that is a very sad fact, people get respect based on their degrees and not their intellect and skills in India. Also there is no respect for people who work using their hands, they are looked down upon by others. In other countries if you are able to do something with your own hands, you get a lot of respect!
This is rooted in our caste system. The brahmins were given higher status because of bhookish knowledge of Vedas, scriptures etc. Those days the learned were respected for having studies in some famous Gurukul. although there were no degrees, tag of famous Guru was enough. For example, the 'vishwamitra' tag was attached to Rama. Arjun had tag of Guru Dronacharya. Karan and Eklavya were without such tag. so they were not respected despite merit. Such Guru tags were equivalent to modern time degrees.
Yes, that psyche is rooted deeply in our minds due to the caste system! And who can ever forget what happened to Eklavya when he learned the skill all on his own by keeping a statue of Guru Dronacharya as proxy guru?
But after so many decades after independence and increased education, awareness, globalization etc. there has to be change in our mentality, which unfortunately is not seen.
Let me give an example, my father-in-law's best friend happens to be belong to a community of carpenters by tradition. He used to make really beautiful pieces of furniture by hand, now he is 80 and is unable to build anything. His two sons refused to learn the trade and are happy doing jobs when they could easily earn much more money by making furniture! sadly, they despise the craft and this is also the reason why so many traditional crafts and arts are dying in India!
I will give you a nice idea...
Send those carpender sons to kerala.
Here labour cost of a carpenter per day is minimum 1200...even in remote villages :dry: :silly:
So, one month can give more around 35,000 for sure...more than a government sector job :blink: :blink:

Okay, so maybe I am wrong on this one however, he is not a north Indian and not Bodduna for sure.

Robert
We have been working in Rural areas by providing drinking water treatment plants and making sure the rural people get safe and clean drinking water. so far we have established these drinking water plants in 600 rural villages.
You can know more about this in our website here- http://www.smaataqua.com/ourbusiness_communitywatercenters.html
I have also written an article about this here which was approved by Kalyani - Community Water Center

Hello All,
First of all Congrats to Swetha.
@ all users, its very disappointing to see that users on forums get diverted from the topic & keep on discussing.
Let me clear out:
Mr. Nagarjun Bodduna, from Hyderabad, is our website owner for whom Maverick coordinates all the activities alongwith many such projects.
Mr. Maverick, who doesn't want to disclose his real identity, is a great programmer, a leader, a Entrepreneur & many more great qualities.
I am a Mechanical Engineer, Maharashtra guy, from Mumbai and currently working in Saudi Arabia & as a Site Coordinator for Boddunan.
We should be greatful to Mr. Nagarjun B & Mr. Maverick to create such a peaceful community named "Boddunan".
Hope this & other threads continue to have the replies/comments related to the thread topic only.
Else we may be forced to cut-down the points scale over the forums.
Thanks all
Enjoy your life!!

Appreciations to Mr. Atul for brief explanation about people who are strong pillars of Boddunan Family. Appreciations to the pillars also. Because of you, we feel comfort. Keep Rocking.
At the same time, I want to make 1 request. Since I am from Tamilnadu, I am good at writing tamil articles. I would be the happiest person in the world when I see Tamil in Boddunan Family.
