Swecha on CNN , YFJ on a trip to Agra

Eureka Eureka! it was on TV today as I was thinking of a complete trip from the source of the Yamuna to Taj , I was glad to know there was someone had done it. I was happy to know that there were people out there fighting it out.

Vimlendu Jha - www.swfc.org.in has embarked on the journey to clean up Yamuna , he is featured in the series - Be The Change on CNN.

Let Yamuna tell her story as you walk beside her

Delhi kids give a lesson or two on the bank of Yamuna

What was more interesting to find was that the Delhi government has been looking to beautify and make a bridge across the Yamuna
Showpiece bridge over Yamuna will not harm river

There was more good news, I did hear from Todd today and he was more than happy to help.And that was not it there was another group of enthusiasts who were fighting for the same cause. www.y4j.blogspot.com

They were on a road trip to agra recently. They also sensitise students through Orkut (youth4justice) and through theirblog (y4j.blogspot.com). These are the student hubs and we don't want to leave any stone unturned to garner as much support as they can.

infact both Swechcha and YFJ are working for same cause...

this yatra from delhi to agra along the river on motorbikes was amazing...

this experience has definately boosted our motivation and we have stronger believe that soon Yamuna would be revived
