Harvard South Asia Institute

Professor Ashok Gadgil (UC Berkeley)was originally a theoretical physicist, but during his distinguished career he has had a huge impact on thousands of lives with inventions that supply clean water to the poorest people in South Asia. At our Annual Symposium in May 2018, he explained how he has moved from abstract theory to such impressive and important practice.
