Once again feel privileged to see this article by Mr. Anil Swarup IAS in the Millennium Post.

Children and Students are the future of the country. If they can be sensitized about issues relating to environment, it can have a transformational impact. This article in Millennium Post is about an organization, led by a national awardee, Vijayam Kartha, that is attempting to do this. The response to this initiative has been pretty encouraging during the inaugural year..

Feel privileged to receive this message from Mr. Anil Swarup IAS, who was the Chief Guest for the finale of 'Classrooms to Climate Action Crusaders'. "The journey to IofC, Panchgani is a hectic one but I always look forward to it because of the refreshing ambience and amazing people here. Hence, when the invitation came for addressing the students at an event, Classroom to Climate Crusaders, I readily accepted it. What an amazing initiative this was for creating awareness about protecting the environment amongst students. The enthusiasm of the students that came from all over the country was infectious. Here was another model that could be replicated and scaled in the true spirit of Nexus of Good. It was a brief visit but loved every moment."

Can a river be brought back to life when entire villages decide to care?

In eastern Uttar Pradesh, the answer is flowing through the Tamsa River, a historic tributary of the Ganga that was once struggling with siltation, waste accumulation, and encroachments.

In Azamgarh district, 111 Gram Panchayats joined hands to restore an 89-kilometre stretch of the river under the Namami Gange programme.

Through shramdaan, villagers, MGNREGA workers, sanitation teams, school children, women’s self-help groups, and volunteers worked together to desilt the river, remove plastic and debris, and clean riverbanks and ghats.

The effort went beyond cleaning. Fruit bearing trees were planted along available riverbank land, creating ecological restoration along with economic value for local communities.

Awareness drives and waste segregation initiatives were also introduced to ensure long-term protection of the river.

The impact is already visible through improved water quality, revived biodiversity, and better irrigation potential for nearby farms.
This is what river conservation looks like when communities lead from the front.
