We aimed at restoring the natural state and functioning of the river Yamuna system in support of biodiversity, recreation, flood management and landscape development.

“A staggering 3.6 billion tons of untreated sewage flows daily into the Yamuna and the river supplies 60% of the water needed by the Delhi region. The situation is dire. We need to act now. And one single organization or entity cannot do things all by itself. Only collectively can this clean-up be possible."

~ Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar at the inauguration of the Meri Dilli Meri Yamuna (MDMY) campaign on March 16, 2010.
