Beacon of Hope for a Sustainable Future: The Legacy of
DR. SATBIR SINGH KADIAN

Engineer-in-Chief at Irrigation & Water Resources Department, Government of Haryana, India, CEO-State Water Regulatory Authority & Administrator-MICADA, Haryana.
Leader of the Now: 2025's Most Inspiring Minds
Waterislifeandmorethansimplyaresourcefora state like Haryana, which is home to one of India's best agricultural belts. It is also essential for environmental balance, rural economies, and food security However, Haryana is currently facing severe water problems: groundwater levels are dropping to dangerously lowlevels,waterloggingwithsoilsalinityinincreasedareas, old irrigation equipment is breaking down, supply is not keepingupwithdemand,andclimatechangeisonlywaiting tohighlightthedelicatebalance.Inadditiontotechnological answers, such intricate situations demand innovative, intelligent leadership that blends public discourse, research, andpolicy
Leading this transformation is Dr. Satbir Singh Kadian, a visionary leader whose leadership personifies such an integratedvision.Formorethantwodecades,Dr.Kadianhas been at the helm of transforming Haryana's water management infrastructure to be efficient, equitable, and sustainable His work goes far beyond engineering achievements, reaching to community empowerment, institutionalreforms,andpath-breakingvisiongoalsadopted as a model of water security not only in Haryana but across India.
RootedinRuralWisdom,RisingwithGlobalKnowledge
Dr Kadian hails from a small village called Beholi in the Panipat district of Haryana Dr Kadian is a farmer by profession, and a family man, who understood the cycles of rural life and the importance of water in protecting his people's health. Dr. Kadian's father was a proud member of thecommunitycouncilinhisvillage,teachinghimvaluesof service,honesty,andaccountability.
Eversinceaveryearlyage,Dr Kadianhashadthisvoracious appetite to inquire and learn. He was always at the top in primary school and secondary school, receiving state-level awardsmorethanonce.Withazealousdesiretosolvereal-life issues, he went on to study Mechanical Engineering at the illustriousThaparInstituteofEngineering&Technologyand graduatedin1992withhonors.
ButDr Kadian'seducationwasnotlimitedtobooks.Hesaw the sheer need for integrating policy and technology and sustainability This vision led him to the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, where he finished his integrated Ph.D.inFunctionalERPSystemsandSustainabilityby1998.

Concurrently, learning through the MASHAV program in Israel provided him with the current advances in water management,technology,andeconomicsthatwouldbemost usefulinsemi-aridandwater-scarcestateslikeHaryana.
This strong combination of technical prowess, global exposure, and national insight was the cornerstone of Dr Kadian's successful career committed to resolution of the watercrisisinHaryana.
From Decline to Delivery: A Landmark Canal RehabilitationLedbyVisionandInnovation
Dr Kadian joined the Haryana Irrigation Department upon graduation, a field of utmost significance given the state's overdependence on canal irrigation and groundwater In his formative working years, he witnessed firsthand the sorry conditionoftheJawaharlalNehru(JLN)LiftCanalSystem,a key irrigation channel built in the 1970s that had lost its efficiencyovertheyears.ThecanalsandLYRICpumpswere uneconomical,themajorityofpartsunused,resultinginwater shortagesintail-endregionsanddeterringfarmers'potential.
Rather than succumbing to this ongoing decline, Dr Kadian took it as a challenge. Leaping Himalayan bounds from his technicalexperienceandmanagerialskills,hespearheadeda pioneeringprojecttorejuvenateandmodernizetheentirelift canalsystem.Fundedbymorethan$10millionofNABARD moneyandequippedwithstate-of-the-arttechnologysuchas SCADA(computerizedcontrolsystems),AI-basedpredictive maintenance, and telemetry-based monitoring, the rehabilitation got the canal system back on track for full, reliablefunction.
The impacts were spectacular. Over a million people were directly impacted by augmented availability of irrigation, enhancedutilizationofsafewater,increaseincropyield,and migratorypressurefromdroughtinsourceregionslessened. The rehabilitation also ensured long-term viability of the facilities through rigorous quality standards that ensured a minimumlifeof20yearsofutility;withlongvisionturning outtobetrue.

Pioneering Water Governance at State and National Levels
Dr. Kadian's experience widened quickly to larger responsibility: Engineer-in-Chief Irrigation & Water Resources Department of Haryana, CEO Haryana Water Resources Authority (HWRA), and Administrator of MICADA, the organization which is designing microirrigationandcommandareadevelopment.
He applied experience-based engineering with policymakingandinstitutionalreformintheseroles,directinglargescale programs that have transformed water management in Haryana:
• Atal Bhujal Yojana (AbhY): Groundwater SustainabilitythroughCommunityOwnership
With the launch of Atal Bhujal Yojana, the flagship programmeoftheMinistryofJalShakti,Dr.Kadianinitiated the Community-Based Participatory Approach (CBPA) Contrary to the conventional top-down groundwater management plans, his method strengthens the grassroot Panchayati Raj Institutions and women volunteers called "Bhujal Sahelis" in the task of evaluating, planning, and implementing water-conservation activities. This participatory strategy enabled villages to plan their water security independently, from scientific groundwater information but guided by local experience and need Campaigns for water conservation, awareness campaigns, and behavioral changes picked up speed gradually, which stabilizedtherateofgroundwaterinmostdistricts.
• JalShaktiAbhiyan&NationalHydrologyProject

Haryana's role in Jal ShaktiAbhiyan is rainwater harvesting, reviving traditional water bodies, and natural aquifer recharging Supplementing the real-time groundwaterleveldataoftheNationalHydrologyProjectand computer modeling, these initiatives have pro-active, science-basedmanagementofthepreciousresource.

StateVision2047andIntegratedWaterResourcesAction Plan(IWRAP)
Moving towards the future, Dr Kadian has contributed significantlytowardsHaryana'svisionforthefuturethrough the creation of theVision 2047 document and imagining the Integrated Water Resources Action Plan (IWRAP). These developmentssuggestaroadmapforwatermanagementina climate-resilient manner, from surface and groundwater managementtolanduseplanning,dynamicwaterpricing,and institutionalchange.
TheWaterSecureHaryanaplan,valuedatRs.5700croreand currently placed on the World Bank list of finances, is an expression of this vision, uniting sustainable practice, technology, nature-based solutions, and multi-stakeholder coordination.
Water as a Collective Responsibility: Engaging CommunitiesforChange
Dr. Kadian understands that technology alone will never provide sustainable water resources without active people's involvement. His leadership has given new life to outreach programswithcreativityandpassion:
• Bhujal Sahelis: Ground water women volunteers who are neighborhood leaders in their own area lead other villagers towards appropriate water conservation and adopting sustainable irrigation. They have propagated conservation practices through believed presence in villages.
• Nukkad Nataks (Street Theatre):Streettheatreandfolk narrative forms bring abstract hydrogeology into the livesofpeopleonadailybasis.Theplaysresonatewith ruralcommunitiesatbothaculturalandemotionallevel, and water conservation is a local source of pride rather thananofficialdecree.
• Bhujal Raths (Mobile Education Vehicles): They are equippedwithknowledgecontent,real-timewaterdata, and interactivity engagement facilities and move in a circular pattern to remote villages from time to time as on-the-move classrooms filling up knowledge gaps at farmers'doorstep.
