| Stockholm: India's Bindeshwar Pathak, the founder of the Sulabh sanitation movement, on Thursday was awarded the Stockholm Water Prize, the most prestigious environmental recognition that has become akin to a Nobel Prize for environmental issues.
"Sanitation is humanity's and the world's most urgent and critical crisis of our times," Bindeshwar Pathak told media here on Thursday, and on a more optimistic note said, "However, it is not yet an unsolvable crisis but a huge challenge. It will require massive, dedicated and selfless labour to achieve the goal."
Pathak received the award from Prince Carl Philip of Sweden. (IANS) |
