Eco restoration efforts


River is completely invisible in summer sessions

The plan is to undertake Eco-restoration efforts across the drainage areas, in partnership with resident communities, in a phased manner over the next few years.

 
The development of Self Help Groups of women in this area has led to the creation of a dynamic basin-level federation or Manch which have effective dialogue with other stakeholders creating a multi-stakeholder platform.  Following a meeting of several hundred residents, the Manch is committed to the renewal of the hydrological cycle through the promotion of community forestry/water conservation initiatives, appropriate technology and livelihood programs.
