The article highlights Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s contributions to India’s water management and policy. As a key figure in developing projects like the Damodar Valley and Hirakud Multipurpose Project, he advocated for treating water as a common resource, promoting conservation, and ensuring equitable distribution, especially for marginalized communities. His recommendations led to the Inter-State Water Disputes Act and the River Boards Act.
Dr. Ambedkar’s vision remains relevant even today in addressing contemporary water management challenges and promoting sustainable development.
