London Chhalphal is pleased to invite you to our next programme:
"Water, People & Power - Chhalphal with Pragya Dipak Gyawali"
Nepal is not "rich" in water resources as the normal rhetoric and hype portrays, although there is enough for her requirements. Today's crisis, largely emanates from the past management practices.
This talk will take water as the lens with which to probe into Nepal's problems and potential solutions.

By profession he is both a hydroelectric engineer (Moscovsky Energetichesky Institute) and a political economist studying resource use (Univ. of California at Berkeley) with a research interest in society-technoloogy interface. He served briefly as Nepal's water resources minister in 2002/2003 and introduced communitization of electricity in Nepal among other things.
