The Isha Foundation led by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev has come forward to conserve forest areas coming under Cauvery basin to revitalise the river.
Jaggi Vasudev called on Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy in Bengaluru on Friday, placed the proposal before him and sought the state government’s cooperation. The initiative will be taken up under the Foundation’s “Rally for River” campaign.
The Ministry of Water Resources recently constituted separate committees to examine the Foundation’s draft policy to revitalise rivers that was submitted to the prime minister. The policy has been sent to the NITI Aayog and also various state governments for their feedback. The CM said he will examine the proposal and take a suitable decision.
