A round table devoted to understand the relationship of Kosi River with our lives. How the river connects the villages and the city? How the river gives us life, sustains agriculture and how it also needed at the time of death. Without the healthy life of Kosi River we can not think about our lives. Let us dream and work for conserving the rivers by protecting trees, increasing oak and allied species, digging pits for retaining rain water, negating consumerism and searching other collective ways for saving our soil, forests and waters. Scientists from GBPIHED, VPKAS, KU, elected representatives, administrators and citizens will participate and chalk out a participatory action plan.
