India's long impending water crisis is deepening its root in the system and the continuous depleting levels have increased the burden and stress on the available water resources of the country. While there are manydimensions to the problem, agriculture remains the most prevalent one where the sector uses over 70 percent of all the freshwater resources of the country. This exigency results in an urgent need of embracing modern irrigation practices that can help conserve water in Agriculture and Landscape use.
Water conservation can only be achieved through the adoption of improved irrigation systems such as Sprinklers and Micro Irrigation equipments, which are still not well accepted in the country due to lack of awareness, availability and design capabilities. Chandra Prakash, a veteran in the field realised this gap and decided to work towards building something that would add value to this domain. Having worked in Agriculture and landscape sectors in India and various Gulf Countries for considerable period, Chandra Prakash sensed the importance of well designed systems & professional installations and decided to foray into the world of entrepreneurship with his irrigation design consultancy firm Irrigation Professionals. "I had spent my initial years in the introduction of Micro Irrigation in agriculture and it was during my first stint with Voltas Limited, the pioneer in Drip Irrigation, during the late 70s and early 80s that deepened my interest in Modern Irrigation Systems" says Mr. Chandra Prakash, founder of Irrigation Professionals. Thereafter he worked in various Gulf Countries in irrigation domain and had experience with state of art Irrigation Equipment and Technology from leading manufacturers from USA and Europe, which till then were not introduced in India. Additionally use of these equipments in Landscape Irrigation apart from Farm Irrigation including automation in irrigation systems caught his interest further.
