Better to not depend on government. Each individual should take responsibility and work hard. There is no other solution in this country.
"If I allowed a lake to die before my eyes, then I'm partly responsible for its demise. " Best words by Usha Rajagopalan.
The real CIVIL SERVANTS spotted !!!
Abdul Kalam said, India is not poor but indians thinking is poor. If our fellow citizens change the way we think, incredible things can happen this is the Best example. We don't need any 3rd party politicians to change our surroundings . This is in our hands . Ty for such a beautiful video inspiring.

"If I allowed a lake die in front of my eyes, then I am partly responsible for its demise" - such a strong statement. Yet another proven example of a real hero. Kudos mam & best wishes for the whole team
I stay near Avalahalli lake in Bengaluru. It was also receiving a lot of sewage. Now they are diverting the sewage and they have emptied the lake to remove the silt and everything in the lake bed. After that it'll be filled up again in the coming years I think.
@ravin2363

looks promising. However keep a close watch because if enough fresh water is provided lake can mitigate the pollutants by itself it doesn't need emptying. Yes silting is one problem, still keep a close watch so that it isn't replaced by some human made concrete jungle.

All hail the activists....❤
Here in the Philippines, Laguna de Bay is also experiencing devastation. Yet, no one made long term solutions and action to stop it.
This kind of work should come in front of the country, people of India should know this kind of project but todays media only showing the negative things, we should support the people who are taking part in the solution of the ecological problem. This is a good channel who is projecting this kind of things in front of the country.
As a Bangalorean this gives me hope. Thank you for those who are doing all they can to preserve the lakes and water sources in and around this once beautiful city.

Always great to watch such Indian projects and how they are so hell bent on making their country look beautiful and the advancements you guys are making in other sectors as well. Immense respect for people who take it upon themselves to do something for their country whole heartedly. Whereas the governments are busy fighting elections and swimming over banks of corrupt money. Wish the government/people in Bangladesh get inspiration from such projects and take similar initiatives to protect the lakes back here. Love from Bangladesh ❤️
Too good. Scroll - keep it up. We would like to watch more of this kind of videos. Let it be for weekend edition. Let filter the Country and make it healthy.
Wowww!!! This lake was near my house , good to see it improve sooo much!!!!

Really great info. Thanks for making a video on such a topic. A small suggestion, despite the top-notch camera quality and infographics, I'd like to have the captions as well. It helps out when the audio output of certain devices is low. Keep it up!
I don't know why people have disliked this effort. This is what we've to conserve to our next generation. Ironically people have least or no awareness about the importance of such lakes in our communities. Why only concerned citizens have to take these initiatives. What politicians and beurocrats are doing. Why do they pursue civil services. Why they are blind on such issues. Who issued NOC to the industries to let the effluents without treating. Hence apart from fixing downstream issues we also have to fix the root causes.
