Rivers are communities’ backbone and their recovery and restoration have become the need of the hour. Today we can see that many rivers had become dead or turned into just narrow channels due to encroachments, unabated pollution, sand extraction, etc. From the beginning onwards TIES is working towards the restoration and conservation of rivers.

TIES in association with the National Service Scheme (NSS) wing of St. Marys College Manarcad is conducting a webinar on the day of Gandhi Jayanti with respect to River Day. The programme is conducted under the aegis of Enty Manimalayar People’s Fraternity, a voluntary public movement led by Dr. N Jayaraj, MLA , working mainly for the conservation of the Manimala River and its watershed. TIES is the technical partner for this movement. “Nature Conservation: Gandhian Perspective” is the theme of the programme and will be led by Dr. K Vasudevan Pillai, Principal, Coaching Centre for Minority Youth, Palakkad.
