'आज भी खरे हैं तालाब' और रहेंगे

Recalling Anupam Bhaiya only as an editor of the bi-monthly ‘Gandhi Marg’ published by the Gandhi Peace Foundation, an author, journalist, environmentalist and water conservationist who worked on promoting water conservation, water management and traditional rainwater harvesting techniques is not just. 

He was more a inspiration for all the people like us, always first to greet when you get awards or recognition with his calmness added to everything he did in his life.. a simple man, a true gandhian with a pious heart. 

Anupam Mishra passed away at the age of 68 at the All India Institute for Medical Sciences on December 19, 2016 battling prostate cancer. He had been awarded the 1996 Indira Gandhi Paryavaran Puraskar (IGPP) award instituted by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India, Jamnalal Bajaj Award, Amar Shaheed Chandrashekhar Azad National Award and many others. His books include ‘Aaj Bhi Khare Hain Talaab’ (Lakes Are Still Standing, 1993) and ‘Rajasthan Ki Rajat Boondein (Radiant Raindrops of Rajasthan, 1995) are landmarks in the field of water conservation.


Anupam Bhaiya, we miss your warmth and affection.
