Recently, in the name of development, and with the realization of our power, we humans forget a simple truth: we are not separate from nature; we are an integral part of it. Nature surrounds us, sustains us, and shapes our very existence. Amidst the vast expanse of our natural world, rivers hold a special place in our hearts. They are like the loving, nurturing embrace of a mother. Our rivers support and feed our entire life system. They flow through our landscapes, bringing sustenance and vitality to the ecosystems they traverse. Just like a mother's love, they give us life, provide for our needs, and create fertile lands for our growth. Sadly, in our pursuit of progress, we have often taken our rivers for granted. We have polluted them, dammed them, and exploited them without considering the consequences. In doing so, we have harmed not only our rivers but also ourselves. We have forgotten that our well-being is intertwined with the health of these life-giving arteries. It is time to awaken our senses and rediscover our bond with nature. We must honor and protect our rivers, just as we would care for our own mothers. Let’s show reverence and gratitude for the bountiful gifts they bestow upon us. It is our responsibility to restore and preserve their purity, for they are the lifelines that sustain us. In the face of the pressing environmental challenges like floods, unseasonal rain, glaciers and polar Ice melting, heat waves due to rising temperatures, water scarcity we face, we have a choice. We can continue down the path of ignorance, disregarding the delicate balance of nature. Or we can choose to be mindful custodians of the Earth, embracing our role in preserving its wonders. The decision is ours to make. Even a tiny change by a single human can make the impact. If a squirrel can help Lord Rama in building the setu, our single step can change the future of upcoming generation
