It is Fifty Seven Years Since India Attained Independence. Why Rivers Are Not Nationalized?

When India attained Independence, its founders decided that some subjects would be responsibility of State and some of the Central Government. Water was and continues to be a State subject. World over, rapid population growth and climatic change is resulting in water scarcity in all regions. India is no exception. The need for co-operation and fair distribution of river water between the States has become a real challenge for our c country. One suggestion among many is to nationalize the river water distribution, in which case all the States have to agree to change the Constitution to make river water a Central subject.
