India Water Portal

Wow! A site that focuses on water issues in India. It brings together solutions pursued by people around India to tackle water related problems. One of the sections has interesting news items on rain water harvesting.

There are lot of interesting case studies too go through.

Sattva

Nice e-magazine on social work going on in Bangalore.
The interview with the 21 yr old Nitin Rao was particularly interesting.
This issue of the magazine also enlists what kind of things you can do if you have some time to devote to Social Work. And not to forget, i absolutely loved its design and the use of colors. A must see :)
