3. NADI KO JANO
Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan launched the 'Nadi ko Jano' app
during an online webinar organised by the Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal on
the occasion of Vyaas Pooja Mahotsav on Sunday.
Research For Resurgence Foundation (RFRF) is organising a nationwide
campaign titled ‘Nadi ko Jano’ for crowd sourcing of real time data on
rivers. The campaign was launched by Honourable Minister for Education
Shri. Dharmendra Pradhan on the occasion of Vyasa Pooja (25th July 2021).
Water is the most important treasure for the whole mankind. Hence this
campaign of mapping the rivers will be a great boon to the national policy
makers. RFRF urges all Educational Institutes to encourage their faculty and
students to participate in this momentous campaign. It will motivate them
to develop a harmonious attitude towards research.

4. RIVERS IN INDIA
Rivers in India have been a lifeline of several civilisations since ages.
Every river has a story attached to it. Some are worshipped, considered goddesses
and even declared as nature's wonder. If we talk about geography, based on their
source, Indian rivers are classified as - Himalayan Rivers and Peninsular Rivers.
The Indian River system is made of seven major rivers along with their
several tributaries. The majority of the rivers flow into the Bay of
Bengal and some of the rivers flow into the Arabian Sea. On the other
hand, some parts of India have inland drainage.
The rivers of India provide irrigation, transportation, electricity and
livelihoods for a huge number of people in India. The river system also
holds significance from a religious point of view in India.
