An Interview With Akhila Potluru

Undergraduate at The LSE studying a BSc in International Social and Public Policy and Economics. 30 under 30 Women in Scotland. Diana Award Recipient.

The way in which water policy can be used to improve public health is not something that's touched on enough. I feel people have suddenly got the issue in their heads with all this stuff around Thames Water, but prior to that there was deadpan silence on the topic. I was a bit hesitant to talk about the issue because it sounded like I was some kind of mad conspiracy theorist!

We spoke to Akhila about…

💡 Her decision to study a degree in Public and Social Policy

🌍 Her interest in climate change and where this came from

💧 The work she has done in the area of water policy

🏛️ Her experience engaging in political lobbying

🎤 Her advice for anyone passionate about a certain cause
