Jeevitnadi, a People Movement for our rivers

At Jeevitnadi, we firmly believe that river revival is possible through active participation of the citizens.

Inspired by prominent ecologist Late Shri Prakash Gole, alumni of Ecological Society came together in 2014 to work for revival of rivers in Pune. This was a group of individuals from diverse professional fields who were passionate about environment conservation and their main focus was on changing perception of people about the rivers and bringing back the lost connection particularly in the urban areas.

This initiative to protect rivers evolved into Jeevitnadi. In September 2016, Jeevitnadi became a section 8 company, registered under the name Jeevitnadi – Living River Foundation.

Jeevitnadi works on various projects and is associated as one of the founders of Ramnadi restoration mission. It is also on advisory panels and recipient of many accolades and awards.                                                                             “My River, My Responsibility” is our motto.
