A day for River Revitalization - September 3rd, 2020

Globally, many rivers are running dry due to overexploitation. The revitalization of rivers, not just in India but all across the globe, is a mission that is held dearly in the hearts of Sadhguru and millions of people who support the cause worldwide.

On September 3, we celebrate the cause of River Revitalization. The auspicious day which is also the birth anniversary of Sadhguru has also marked the beginning of campaigns such as Rally for Rivers and Cauvery Calling that have been instrumental in spreading the message of River Revitalization across the world.

Joining Sadhguru on this cherished day will be honorable Union Minister of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of India, Shri Prakash Javadekar. The two will interact on a very special edition of “In Conversation with the Mystic” where they will discuss several aspects of climate change, environment, and the rejuvenation of our rivers.
