2. Background: Water is an emerging issue. At one hand it’s a Challenge before Human
Civilization, at another end it’s an honest business opportunity for innovative mind. Testing,
Treatment and supply of Safe Water is a growing market worldwide. Environment Testing
Market worldwide has been
estimated at USD 11.82 Billion by
2021 with CAGR of 69% from 2016
to 2021. Additionally, it is estimated
that the equipment market is worth
approximately €220-367 million, and
expected to have double-digit growth
rates every year. The Indian market
is projected to grow at a higher
growth rate because of the growing
demand for development of waste
infrastructure and government
initiatives to improve its
environmental performance. Various
estimates suggest that there is more
than a ‘billion-dollar market’ (approx €11 billion) waiting to be tapped in India. This seminar
seeks to bring perspectives and insights from seasoned practitioners facilitating creation of
dedicated institutional set up to structure and improve Treated and Tested Water supply sector in
the state of Jharkhand.
About Indian Chamber of Commerce:
Founded in 1925, for last 90 years, Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC) is the leading and only
National Chamber of Commerce operating from Kolkata, and one of the most pro-active and
forward-looking Chambers in the country today. Its membership spans some of the most
prominent and major industrial groups in India. ICC’s forte is its ability to anticipate the needs
of the future, respond to challenges, and prepare the stakeholders in the economy to benefit
from these changes and opportunities. Set up by a group of pioneering industrialists led by Mr
G D Birla, the Indian Chamber of Commerce was closely associated with the Indian Freedom
Movement, as the first organised voice of indigenous Indian Industry. Several of the
distinguished industry leaders in India, such as Mr B M Birla, Sir Ardeshir Dalal, Sir Badridas
Goenka, Mr S P Jain, Lala Karam Chand Thapar, Mr Russi Mody, Mr Ashok Jain, Mr.Sanjiv
Goenka, have led the ICC as its President. Currently, Mr. Aditya V Agarwal, Director – Emami
Gorup of Companies is leading the Chamber as its President.

boundaries and capacity building. ICC is the only Chamber from India to win the first prize in
World Chambers Competition in Quebec, Canada. Also, ICC was also selected as one of the top
finalists at the 2013 World Chambers’ Congress in Doha, Qatar.

About the Event
Water is a State Subject. Public Health Engineering Department in States remains one of the Key
players to buy and use Water and Sanitation technologies. Ministry of Drinking Water and
Sanitation, Government of India prioritized the coverage of the water quality problem, arsenic
and fluoride affected habitations have been accorded priority followed by iron, salinity, nitrate
and other contaminants. 20% and 3% funds are earmarked in National Rural Drinking Water
Program (NRDWP) to address Water Quality problems and to install Water Quality Monitoring
and Surveillance Program (WQMSP).Additional 10% funds (100% central assistance) has been
earmarked to assure sustainability of Drinking Water supply Systems. Dedicated Funds are also
available with Climate Change action Plan, Disaster Mitigation and District Mineral
Foundation initiatives.However, we understand that there is a lack of efficient and qualified
service providers to meet the demand of treated water in Jharkhand as well as in other states
belonging to eastern corridor including Orissa, Chattishgarh, Bihar and West Bengal. Cost
effective Treated Water supply, recycling and sewerage treatment minimizing use of water are
going to be the key challenges. There is certainly scope of Techno-economic innovations which
are capable of serving bottom of the pyramid creating self sustaining revenue models. The
seminar intends to showcase such technologies and plans to create institutional mechanism to
incubate and scale up operation of suitable technologies in the region through collaborative
effort of Government, Corporate and Civil society organizations.
