    2017 SRI SRI RAVI SHANKAR: GLOBAL INITIATIVES IN REVIEW SRI SRI RAVI SHANKAR GLOBAL INITIATIVES 2017 Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is a renowned spiritual leader and global humanitarian whose mission of uniting the world into a violence-free, stress-free, global family has inspired millions of people to broaden their share of responsibility and serve society. Sri Sri has devised practical tools and techniques that help individuals achieve calmness of mind and clarity of thought. Such a state of mind empowers individuals to achieve their goals and instills a sense of service and greater connectedness with humanity. In 1981, Sri Sri established The Art of Living Foundation, an educational organization with a presence in over 156 countries. The Foundation’s individual development programs offer powerful tools to eliminate stress and foster a sense of well-being. In 1997, Sri Sri founded the International Association for Human Values (IAHV), a humanitarian organization, which promotes societal responsibility and human values in political, economic and social spheres. IAHV and The Art of Living Foundation collaborate on several humanitarian initiatives, including conflict resolution, disaster and trauma relief, environmental conservation, anti-corruption, prisoner rehabilitation, youth leadership, women’s empowerment and universal education. Both organizations enjoy special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations.

Union Minister for Water Resources Uma Bharti today said a “task force”, headed by Padma Bhushan awardee Dr Kharag Singh Valdiya and comprising water experts and historians, will look into the veracity of the claim. “The ministry will think further about the river only after its veracity was found,” Bharti said. On whether the Centre will provide help to revive the river, she said it needed to be established whether it was Saraswati. The task force has been asked to ascertain the veracity of the claims of discovery of Saraswati in Haryana and Rajasthan. Traces of underground water flow were found in a Yamunanagar village. "Yes, underground water of a river has been found. But it has to be established whether the river was indeed Saraswati" ­ Uma Bharti, Union Minister http://www.tribuneindia.com/article/news_print.aspx?story_id=203594&catid=7&mid=53 1/1
