The Haritha Kerala Mission, in association with the local administrative bodies, has launched the second phase of the campaign titled ‘Kabanikkayi Wayanad’ to restore the Kabani river, a major tributary of the Cauvery, in Wayanad.
The campaign envisages ensuring the very existence of Kabani and mitigating the impacts of climate change. It will be achieved by rejuvenating the river and rivulets by linking the four sectors of agriculture, tourism, garbage disposal, and water conservation.
The campaign has begun in Vythiri and Pozhuthana grama panchayats, where the Kabani originates, by incorporating it with the ‘Neeruravu’ campaign under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS).
