People’s Green Award – Simple Voting

by May 24, 2012 Environment

PNLIT is delighted to tell you that it has been shortlisted for the People’s Green Award instituted as part of the TCS World 10K. Public voting and Jury assessment will together decide the final three winners.  

PNLIT is a local people’s initiative to tackle the problem of dying lakes and water shortage through public participation. We were instrumental in getting the Puttenahalli Lake restored and are the first citizens’ group in Bangalore to officially maintain a lake. 

We work within a very tight budget from donations made mostly by individual well wishers. 
The People’s Green Award will help us get some financial support and also encourage others to take up lake restoration in their neighbourhood. Together we can save more lakes, thus prevent garbage/sewage dumping and avert the impending water crisis and water pollution in our city.  

We appeal to you to please vote for us. VOTING IS SIMPLE. No form to be filled, no Captcha to be deciphered! JUST 3 STEPS

by September 10, 2024 Environment
The Bombay High Court has directed civic bodies to let Ganesh mandals know that they should not install PoP idols, but implementation is not easy.

Nilesh Shinde, the organiser of the Mumbaicha Samrat Ganpati at Khetwadi, is confused. Just as many other organisers of Mumbai's famed Ganeshotsav, he has also been preoccupied with the Bombay High Court's recent order. The Court, in its order, asked all civic bodies to intimate sarvajanik Ganesh mandals that they have to mandatorily follow the Central Pollution Control Board  (CPCB) guidelines of 2020 and shun PoP idols altogether. Yet, not all are aware of the rationale behind this."Why didn’t they put a ban on PoP for the past so many years? It is not as if people have started celebrating…

Jala Poshan, a community-led trust, collaborates with citizens and government agencies to ensure the upkeep of Jakkur Lake.

Jakkur Lake is on the outskirts of Bengaluru, north of the bustle of the city centre. There is a strong breeze in the morning, but the lake lies calm. Cormorants stretch out their wings to dry.

Jala Poshan, or “Nurturing Water” in Hindi, is a community-led trust that works to create a healthy community space around Jakkur Lake. The creation of the trust was initially facilitated by Satya Foundation, which provided funding and fostered…
