Did you know that India had over 2.5 million lakes in 1947 - and the count has drastically come down to 0.5 million? What impact does this have on our groundwater, bio-diversity, and well-being in general? How can these water bodies be revived?
Today the Green Shoots team meets up with Mr. Ramveer Tanwar, fondly known as the Pondman of India. Mr. Tanwar, fondly known as the Pondman of India is an environmentalist and a TEDx speaker. Ramveer is the founder of Say Earth- an NGO that works in the space of water conservation, rejuvenation of water bodies, and rainwater harvesting. He has revived 40+ water bodies so far, is the brand ambassador of Swachh Bharat Mission, and is the district coordinator of Bhoo- Jal Sena, Noida, which is the groundwater force, by the govt of Uttar Pradesh.
