Creative Art Contest :

India’s rivers are undergoing a drastic change. Due to the pressures of population and development, our perennial rivers are becoming seasonal.

Many of the smaller rivers have already vanished. Flood as well as drought are becoming increasingly frequent as rivers turn unruly during the monsoon, and vanish once the rainy season is over.

In every state, perennial rivers are either becoming seasonal or totally going dry. In Kerala the Bharatpuzha, in Karnataka – the Kabini, in Tamil Nadu – the Kaveri, Palar and Vaigai, in Odisha – the Musal, in Madhya Pradesh – the Kshipra. Many smaller rivers have already vanished.

The Contest :
Rally for Rivers is a nationwide awareness campaign to revive our rivers. Conceived by Sadhguru, the campaign has been taken up by every section of society across the nation.

But this campaign can be a success only if youth lead from the front. And art is a powerful medium to convey a message. So get your creative juices flowing and let the nation know about the crisis our rivers are facing!

Rivers are losing water for many reasons. The biggest loss comes from water used for irrigation. This water is consumed by crops and also lost in evaporation.
