Hello friends, I am Nandhini here. I have read the information given by my friends and my elders. They are almost right but I too have some ideas. Dear friends we all know that approximately 75% of our world is filled with water. But only certain amount of water is drinkable this is because of the water pollution that are made by ourselves. The control of water pollution is in our hands, there no use of blaming the government and others. So we should co operate with them. The peoples in town should encourage the rural communities about importance of water and how to co operate with the government in controlling the pollution. If the water necessity is maintained there is won't be the use of soft drinks, and it will become a entertainment. Thank you friends. This is the matter that knocked my mind.

Yes, that is true. Drinking water is more important than anything else in our day to day life. One can live without coke and pepsi but not water. A new survey proved that a human can live without food for nearly one month but without water, he can survive 7 days only. Coke and pepsi drinks are not good for our health. And also, doctors recommend to drink water in the morning. Because it purifies the bloodflow throughout the whole body. Soft drinks like coke and pepsi are composed of a lot of chemical components and unhealthy ingredients and all that. And what is so sad about the topic is that in some rural areas, people cannot get enough water for their daily needs. So government should take reasonable measures to make sure that they get the availability of water on a daily basis.

I agree with the topic that we need drinking water more than anything else like mentioned above pepsi, coke in rural India. As we know we can't imagine our life without water because it is our basic need, so we have to improve our system to make aware all people about the importance of it, I am not saying that soft drinks are bad but this is only the demand of people. But the main topic is the availability of drinking water, drinking water should be provided to everyone anyhow by every means, so we should not blame only government for this because we are equally responsible for the same.

But whereas soft drinks like pepsi, coke will make a person cause to indefinite health hazardous and they are dangerous to ones life. At present most of the rural people are suffering a lot for not getting pure drinking water the govt has to take certain measurements to provide a pure drinking water to rural people.

Hi, Roshan here. I do agree with mentioned topic and gone through discussion where no.of people given there views and claimed direct on Govt for poor service in rural area. Though I do also agree with the same claims but no one has given any solution what govt should do against this demon situation. So here I go. 1) Govt should implement Prepaid water Scheme (Quantity of water of particular house-hold should be decided and given that much quantity only for mentioned period to concern house-hold). 2) If any particular need more water than define quantity he should have to pay more money than regular. 3) This help to lead govt to control wastage of water & improve awareness of necessity of pure water.

Well I agree with the topic. We are living in a society where coke and Pepsi have penetrated to our rural counterpart but still drinking water is not. The possible reason I feel is Govt allow the manufacturers of coke and Pepsi to manufacture and distribute Coke and Pepsi in rural areas because Govt will get the revenues but for the basic amenities like Pure drinking water, Government will have to do spending. So the need for the rural India is pure drinking water and not coke and Pepsi as we know water is a fundamental unit of life and >80 % of the diseases occur due to drinking impure water!

By looking at this topic first thing that come to my mind is that government promises a lot that we will bring technology advancements, new infrastructure, computers etc. To rural India. But just ask the rural people they simply don't want these things, they just want drinking water. People in rural part of India travel miles to get drinking water, and in most of the villages a tanker comes and people fight for their turn to get water as they are actually fighting for life. This situation is quite critical. So government first provide them the basic needs of life instead of keep promising them on the other things which is expressed in the topic as Pepsi, cola.

As I am from rural area, I know the problem we are facing to get the pure drinking water, we are depending on bore well water which was not filtered, Unfiltered water may cause serious diseases like cancer, decay of teeth, undigested etc. Coke & Pepsi is dependent on the consumer's behavior, as per my experience, drinking water is sold more than Pepsi & coke in rural area's. As the rural people's are very brilliants in using the money for the required things, they will not waste it unnecessarily. The Payer of Income Tax, Service Tax, Road Tax in urban area's are more in urban area's & the official's like politician's, film actor's, businessmen, rich person's are lived in urban area's, hence, government concentrate more on urban area's and neglected rural area's. As the people of rural area are also human being's. Government should have to concentrate on rural area to provide the basic necessity of water, electricity, sewage facility etc.

Pure water is the neccessity of human being. 70% of the population lives in rural areas. Impure water is one the biggest problem of these areas. These areas donot have proper water treatment plants. People of village mostly drinks handpump or well water. This water contains many germs which leads to waterborne diseases. Waterborne disease leads to death of many peoples. Also the water of well is flouinated which leads to decay of teeth. So government should take steps for providing the Germfree water to the rural areas.

Hello everyone. When I heard this topic a question arises in my mind is. That why this question arises in our mind? And the answer is very simple that in rural India use of water is much fore than urban India as rural India is dependent on agriculture and water is require more there. But now a days rural India is affected by MN C's as coke and Pepsi manufacturing plants are normally established in village. As it costs less land and, water and employees are easily available there. And most important that when we are thirsty then we need pure water not soft drinks and as we all know there is less then2% water drinking water on earth that is very less. So we should save water and aware people about the value of it. Soft drinks makes us unfit whereas pure water has some useful minerals in it that helps us living healthy.

Ujjavala said: (Sat, Jul 28, 2012 10:33:47 PM)

Being born and brought up in a city, I often see people around, quenching their thirst with soft drinks neg letting the ultimate source of life, i.e. , WATER. The brand names COKE and PEPSI have become so pandemic these days, that we usually forget that our prime requirement is WATER and not soft drinks which are no less than a venom. Considering the village aspect, More than 60percent of the villages lack the basic amenities like sanitation, proper education, health facilities, provision of safe drinking water and probably what not. In such a scenario what we need is pure drinking water and not the presence of MNC giants like coke and pepsi. I still remember my grandmother saying to me, what a healthy life they used to lead in a village. Everything they consumed was pure and unadulterated. But the things have changed now (at least in the cities). Nothing pure is available and the consequence is deteriorating heath of people all over the nation. But I am sure that even today there will be some villages in some remote corner in the nation free from adulteration and my only request is let us not affect the healthy lives of people living in those villages because ultimately these people will help us to increase the figures of life expectancy and reduce the figures of infant mortality rate. (as the health of city people is adversely affecting these figures). Let these villages be free from the dominance of coke and pepsi which has left the health of the city people ruined.

Sonali S.Rane said: (Tue, Jul 17, 2012 12:32:15 AM)

Hi friends. Yes!I completely agree that pure drinking water should be given more importance than cokes an pepsi in rural areas. As water plays an vital role in environment as well as in human body, the total amount of water in a human body of average weight (70 kilograms) is approximately 40 litres, averaging 57 percent of his total body weight and about 70% of the earth surface is covered by water. So we should definitely prefer more production of pure drinking water in rural areas than of coke and pepsi. As we all know what wonders can water alone do as compared to the soft drinks, a simple example, for quenching our thirsty throat we all prefer water over soft drinks. So I here by conclude by saying that pure drinking water should be given higher preference and should be available in rural markets in more quantity than the soft drinks. THANK YOU!

"We Need Drinking Water and Not Coke & Pepsi in Rural India". We have to understand that why suddenly the above statement arises?, why haven't we discussed these matter in the past?, because the main source of manufacture of these Coke and Pepsi products are water. These factories needs a lot of water for manufacturing and also to take away the waste products at end. That's why they choose river side areas for their factories. Since the price of land in urban areas are more, since the lack of water in the urban areas are more, these companies prefer more on rural areas. On the other hand the rural people depends more on these river water for their living, agriculture etc. These companies not only used the rural people water for their products and destroyed the rural people life line, they silence these affected people by brute force. Now the rural environment is getting affected by these MNC's and when these people protest against this, their grievousness are not even listened by anyone. The government which needs to be the protector of the rural people are turning into a greatest friend for the MNC's. The government in the name of improving the economy of country, increasing employment, increasing the lifestyle of urban people is actually killing the rural people. Remember that you are not drinking a cool drink, but drinking the blood and tears of the rural affected people. It almost look like they spread the disease and also give the remedy for us at high price. Think of what will happen when too much water is being used and too much chemicals are being dumped into water, and finally the water dries out. These MNC's will easily relocate their location but what about the people living there. Please save our environment, and don't fell into these fancy companies and destroy our fellowmen.

It is essential that government should provide safe drinking water to each and every citizen of state. I don't know why we are confusing issue of providing safe drinking water with Coke or Pepsi especially in rural areas. As far as coke is concerned, it is a personal choice of a consumer to consume it or not just like tea, coffee or even tobacco. Govt has no role in providing coke or Pepsi to rural areas. It is the distribution channel of companies that provides an easy access to their products. Of course, one thing that govt can do is to take lessons out of these companies and can spruce up its own capabilities.

Hello everyone! The topic for today's discussion is "We need drinking water not pepsi and coke in rural India. " I would like to start the discussion by saying, "Water is life!". Life without water in unimaginable. Each and every minute task of our day to day life requires water in some or the other form. Hence water is a fundamental need of life. Coming to the rural India, I find it quite amusing that even in a small hamlet in our country we could find a Cool Drink shop near the bus stand but we see women and children travelling long distances, in scorching heat, to get just a pot of drinking water. It has been found out that on an average, an Indian has to walk 3 km to get some drinking water. As always, averages conceal the reality of life. So I would strongly suggest that we should collectively work towards procuring and making drinking water available to every nook and corner of our country. Thank you.

Villages and its people are the heart of our country and we cannot risk their lives just for the mere profit that the companies like coca-cola or pepsi India tries to make, many villagers who are still uneducated, prefer "believe what you see", but major steps should be taken in promoting "WATER IS LIFE", "DRINKING CLEAN AND SAFE WATER".

This can be done only when government and we educated ones take major steps towards the upliftment of the most precious knowledge that drinking pure and safe water makes one survive longer rather than preferring carbonated drinks that only adds to the taste buds.

And speaking about drinking water still we are relying on water cans which we purchase outside. As middle class people and higher class people can afforde to buy, but lower class people are not able to buy and they will be drinking the water which is supplied to them by water tankers once in a week.

The topis is a sattire on our Indian politics and villages which says that instesd of promising us a lavish life, please provide us the basic facilities first. Coke, pepsi, cell phones, dish antennas these are secondary, what we first need is pure drinking water, 2 meals per day, shelter and clothes to wear.

Of course these are needed for the economic prosperity of our country, but it should also be kept in mind that there is no substitute for drinking water. Yes, I do agree with the point that it is unfortunate that packaged drinking water comes at 15 to 20 rupees per bottle. these should be made available to the people at much lower rates. And also do i think that the govt. should not only make promises of setting up proper drinking water facilities in especially the villages, but also keep up to their promises rather than encouraging more and more coke companies to set up their market. The most ridiculous part is that in some outlets cokes are available but packaged drinking water is not. Such is the market of the most essential thing we need to sustain our life as compared to the market of cokes and various soft drinks.

Cola cola everywhere not a penny to buy. This is the condition of the rural areas of India. What a shame! People are dying for a drop of water but here the Govt is marketing pepsi and colas at it's zenith. How can the pepsico ceo annonuce about the 200 cr profit in the near future while pepole in the rural zones are craving for water. I would request the Govt to come up with a plan of introducing packaged drinking water(ONE IMPORTANT THING TO BE REMEMBERED- I DONT MEAN TO LAUNCH 1 LITRE OF BOTTLE OF WATER AT RS.15 OR RS.18) at the minimum cost like Rs 2 or Rs 3. Look the reason is obvious. in a country like africa,people gets only 1 litre of water to maintain his whole day starting from drinking to bathing. can you believe it? but they have a reason. the water supply is scarce. can anyone say what is the problem with our country regarding this water supply.I would request the admin of this site as well as the common people and i am pretty sure that a overwhelming response will be generated as a whole.

India is moving towards modernisation and it is also necessary for a countries development. India is a developing country and is lagging behind in lots of field. Unemployment, poverty, overpopulation are hindrance in the growth of India. On Human development index our rank is 134. One third of our population is BPL. What this population want is simple food and water no coke or burger. They want employment, shelter, health facility. So government's main focus should be on providing basic facilities.

I do agree that water is much more important for the survival of a human rather than those soft driks like pepsi, coca cola etc. But the fact is that the goverment is really interested in gaining the profits from such companies and not even bothering whether the people are getting satisfied or not. Most of the people that the tap water is polluted and they can't drink it. So most of them are preffering Aquafina, Kinley etc, . Which are the major sources of pollutants and what these companis do is that they just add chemicals to the drinking water and sell it at profitable prices. What if the same water is provided to the rural areas the government will benefit more as villages the roots of India. So its upto us to make the people aware of the hazards created by such companies and the importance of drinking normal water.

The main reason for this is the lack of infrasructure required for providing water to such places as well as the pipelines that are made are only on papers. Work has to be judicially done because peole consiume stagnant water which is unhealthy and this will not give a healthy future for the country.

Can we breathe nitrogen instead of oxygen and live ?? Ofcourse NO. So how can water be replaced by coke or pepsi ? I beleive we have to get rid off of harmful stuff rather than encouraging it for ourselves and our country. It is a universal truth, which is ofcoarse known to evryone, that soft drink like coke or pepsi is really not a healthy drink. It is not some apple or mango juice that is going to provide us with vitamins and calcium. Infact a deadly composition of chemicals which acts as slow poison and detorates the health if consumed in large quantities. Now if our rural areas, thankfully, are not under its cover, why do we want them to get into ? There is really no scarcity of water in our nation, but ofcoarse sacarcity of clean drinking water. Our government is welcoming these plants in the country for the monetary benifits and that is fine but it would have been really great if our government would have thought of human benifits also. They should open plants to clean the water and make it suitable for drinking for the rural people.

If we compare pepsi/coke with water, there is no point in saying that the pepsi is good. Bue even though people prefer soft drinks, I think it is because of foreign countries effect, and everyone should come to know that that drinks are dangerous to health, they are made up of chemicals, it is not going to do good to our health rather than making harm. So supplying water is a good thing rather selling drinks.

And other than water it is lime juice; what they call it as sherbath they would prefer if at all they want a refreshment for their throat. So pepsi-coke in rural India, would just be loss making one and if it speaks about lemon flavored ones like limca and all, actually they don't need them at all as they have fresh lemons at their homes.

Water is the basic necessity for life on earth. Till date inspite of latest technologies and hardship, we are still not able to expect life on other planet just due to unavailability of water there. And when we have plenty of it here, then we go on wasting it without understanding its importance. Its true that many places in our country are just devoid of water even for their basic needs of everyday life. And the situation becomes worst in the months of summer. But for this the Pepsi and coke companies should not be blamed? The companies put these plants for the sake of their business and vested interest. They should not be blamed for this. Two people are to be blamed for this. First are we the people who consumes these products just for the sake of our taste and then comes the government who permits these companies to set their plants in our country just for fulfilling their petty interests. After all these products contains chemicals which if can't do any harm then even they are not good to our health. If we do not buy these products then of course there is no chance of these companies setting their plants in our country. After-all no man runs his business where he can't achieve more than what he invested. So neither the companies nor the government to be blamed for this.

In India, there is really scarcity of water but why to blame coke and pepsi companies for this. We are wasting water like anything and blaming others for this and say that there is scarce for water. I agree we need drinking water and not coke and pepsi but the point is everyone buy cooldrinks and say that we don't need these companies. We are buying these cooldrinks so they planted there companies in India, so we have to blame ourselves not these companies.
