DHARA: Driving Holistic Action for Urban Rivers

The annual meeting of the members of RCA is being organized by the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) in association with the National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA). The event has strong synergies with the Urban20 (U20) initiative under the ambit of India’s G20 Presidency.

The expected outcome of DHARA 2023 is to inspire members of the RCA to engage in progressive actions for urban river management in their cities. It is also expected that the event will shine light on the unaddressed issues and challenges for river management in cities, which will help NIUA and its partners in formulating an effective work plan. The event will also develop a compendium of technological solutions that cities may adopt for enhancing the management of their local rivers.
