River Hygiene Awareness at Amarkantak | International Day of Action for Rivers | Green Donor EERC India
International Day of Action for Rivers
On the occasion of the International Day of Action for Rivers (14 March), the Green Donor initiative of The Eco-Earth Institute & Research Centre (EERC India) organized a River Hygiene Awareness activity at Amarkantak, the sacred origin of Maa Narmada.
Amarkantak is not only a geographical source of the Narmada River but also a place of deep spiritual significance for millions of people. Protecting the river’s purity and maintaining hygiene around its banks is therefore both an environmental responsibility and a cultural duty.
The awareness initiative focused on spreading the message that true devotion to rivers lies in protecting them from pollution and maintaining their ecological health.
“River hygiene is true devotion.”
— Veerji

The key objectives included:
-

Rivers and Ecological Responsibility
Rivers are the lifelines of civilizations. They provide water, support biodiversity, sustain agriculture, and shape cultural traditions. However, increasing pollution, plastic waste, and irresponsible human practices are threatening river ecosystems across the world.
Through the Green Donor movement, EERC India seeks to build a culture of ecological citizenship, where people act with awareness, compassion, and responsibility toward nature.
A Message from Green Donor
Green Donor believes that serving Mother Nature begins with small but meaningful actions. Maintaining cleanliness around rivers and respecting natural ecosystems are simple steps that can create a powerful collective impact.
When we protect rivers, we protect life itself.
