Kousika Neerkarangal

Kousika Neerkarangal has dedicated more than fifteen years to the watershed development and rejuvenation of Kousika River. This river holds significant archaeological, historical, and literary importance, yet it currently remains dry for a substantial part of the year. Our team strongly believes that the opportunity to revitalize and restore the Kousika River is a lifetime opportunity that nature has provided us. The initial phases of this ambitious journey are already in progress. Comprehensive surveys have been conducted on streams, dams, and lakes throughout the entire Kousika river basin. Kousika Neerkarangal has successfully established 15 autonomous people movements to safeguard water bodies in collaboration with local communities.

"It's wonderful to witness the fantastic journey of Kousika Neerkarangal volunteers. I fondly recall the field visit to Thadagam Valley, where the streams of Chinnavedampatti lake originate. The overwhelming task of bringing water through Rajavaikkal to Chinnavedampatti lake project is a grand dream come true. I congratulate the Kousika Neerkarangal team on their past accomplishments and extend my best wishes for their future efforts."

"Water is life. Kousika neerkarangal under the able leadership of Thiru P.K Selvaraj is doing a great service to nature and humanity by rejuvenating the water bodies and channels along the Kousika river. We could reap the benefits of their hard work during the north east monsoon season where the newly desilted lakes were filled to the brim. They have converted Water conservation into people's movement thus making it sustainable. I wish Kousika neerkarangal all the best in their future endeavors "
