Prime Minister Narendra on September month 2021 mentioned about the rejuvenation of #Naganadhiriver during the 81st episode of his monthly radio programme Mann Ki Baat.
Addessing the Mann Ki Baat on September 26, which coincided with the #WorldRiversDay, Modi stressed the importance of conservation of rivers and their importance in Indian tradition and cultures.
Modi said many people and communities have dedicated themselves to the cause of rejuvenation of dying rivers, including #Naganadhi, which flows through #Vellore and Thiruvannamalai districts of Tamil Nadu.
The Naganadhi river with its catchment area in Vellore and Tiruvannamalai districts had dried up many years ago. The groundwater in the area reduced subsequently making the area bore-well dependent.
An army of over a 1,000 women from 21 villages of a block in Vellore district built recharge wells and check dams to revive the groundwater which, in turn, gave life back to the river.
The Prime Minister said women of the area took up the cudgels to rejuvenate their river which had almost dried up.
“You would be glad to know that today, the river is brimming with water. And truly, when a river is full of water, it lends such tranquility to the mind…I have actually witnessed the experience,” Modi said.
The groundwater recharge work has now been extended to nine other Tamil Nadu districts led by close to 20,000 women.
