We Need Drinking Water and Not Coke & Pepsi in Rural India

1. It is obvious that water will be our basic needs.

2. Cool drinks in rural areas cannot be much influence people in rural areas because people who says in rural area are mostly below the poverty.

3. People in rural areas are not aware of health hazards caused by cool drinks because of the content of carbonation, sugar or fructose, phosphoric acid, sodium and excess calories which results in reducing the wbc cells and affecting respiratory system.

4. Nowadays water is not available like olden days, people uses to transport water from long distance and few rural areas people don't get pure water also.

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!

Hi friends as per me, uses of water which can not be compromise with coke or Pepsi. As we know water as like as life, when we talk about rural area, there people are not that much of aware about soft drinks because they never think about Pepsi or coke in spite of water.

When we talk about water as like as life it means if we see in a rural area if a labor attack in sunstroke we cannot offer him Pepsi or coke we need to give water only. To maintain our good health and survive water must be require, where Pepsi and coke can not keep our health good even it is being too much of harmful for our health.

By looking this topic, if we are talking about water it means basic need and coke and pepsi refer here as luxury goods. In rural India we can see that they don't have sufficient resources to get basic needs like bread, clothes and shelter. They need water not coke and pepsi.

They need to provide the basic facilities first. Coke, pepsi, cell phones these are secondary, what they first need is pure drinking water, 2 meals per day, shelter and clothes to wear. India will grow only when their people will grow. For growth it is required at least to provide basic amenities to each and every person.

Hello friends, I'm Ramya.

Our rural India people need water to drink, not that soft drinks. Because the people who are mostly depend on agriculture, for agriculture also they are suffer in water drought. So automatically their ultimate need becomes water, at the time they are not prefer coke, Pepsi like drinks. The regular drinking of Soft drinks leads to ill effect and it becomes big health problem in younger generation. So drinking water gives energy and prevents from hydration without any harmful effect. So drinking water is necessary but coke and Pepsi for only refreshment.

Thank you.

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.

Hi, friends I am arghya das. From my points of view I agree with the fact that drinking water is very essential and especially in rural regions where persons are getting thirsty to get some water. So its more important to drink water. But the main problem in rural areas is that they do not have enough money to buy a bottle of water neither a pepsi or a coke. So there must be a rule in India specially where the party and politics are sucking the blood of many innocent people through there way of earning. So according to my views water is more important than those junk liquids. Thank you.

Hello friends,

I would like to put my views in this discussion, firstly we should concentrate what is our first need & I think a very thirsty man must be prefer to drinking water not a cold drink because he need to quench his thirst. As we see in rural area there are many water resources available but uses of water is very bad. Now a days water pollution is become very dangerous problem. For that we should save the (drinking) water, its need of time, because water is life.

Here I want to give one suggestion to everyone : please take preventive action to clear water pollution.

It has been observed that the Pepsi and another foreign product is easily available in the rural area but the same area faces the problem of drinking water, even they can't find the water for daily purpose due to the recent drought. But if you want the coke or Pepsi, that is easily available. The foreign trader invest in India, use natural resources and sell their product.

Though FDI is necessary for growth but that indirectly affect on the rural pupil. The government must think about the policy of FDI. So it will help the growth of the nation as well rural pupil.

I have only one question to Indian Government, when soft drinks can reach those places why not water which is the essence of life. We all have encountered so many times that the JAL BOARD trucks all the time washing streets and not serving the water. Government says people waste water, by the time that van reaches the public, have of the water is already wasted, who is responsible for it? There is no need to compare water and soft drinks, water is the need and soft drink a demand. Government should focus first on needs rather than focussing only on demands.
