Experience the JOY OF GIVING, sharing with the needy, enable them to have access to water, thereby to development with dignity.
Be our proud partners in mitigating climate challenges so as to secure Water & Food For All, For Ever. WATER, as a key natural element of Development, plays a major role in freeing communities from the abject and dehumanizing conditions of extreme poverty, to which more than a billion of them are currently subjected. The looming water crisis and trends for the future pose several challenges for wa
ter & food security. Not only is this precious resource exhaustible, it is already so scarce that life on our planet is under serious threat. If people continue to use water at a rate faster than it can be replenished, failing to consider the consequences of mismanagement on our children. The next generation will be left facing acute thirst & hunger. Amidst the above grim water context, Water Utility Engineers and a band of water & food officials introspected on the urgency and necessity of improving service delivery. The change process that was initiated by them in 2003 led to the formation of a Change Management Group in August 2004 which spearheaded the establishment of a paradigm shift in Water Governance in the various organizations of the State of Tamil Nadu, India. A natural progression of this thought was to coalesce these islands of excellence into a single entity which provides the platform, space and the number to advocate a new paradigm in Drinking water, Water Resources and Food production sectors. Thus evolved The Centre of Excellence for Change (CEC) formally registered under Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act. CEC is a coalition of Government officials, water professionals and social scientists leading a citizen centric water movement in India.
