Saving Water Bodies in Pennagaram
⚡ The Challenge
A pond in Pennagaram became a dumping site for plastic and sewage. Fish died, cattle fell sick, and farmers lost irrigation water. “I used to play near the pond, but now it smells too bad,” said Anitha, 9. The fear of losing their only water source pushed the Children’s Parliament to act.
🎯 Our Solution
They launched a “Save Our Pond” campaign. With local youth and Panchayat support, they cleaned the pond, built filters to block sewage, and planted grass along the bund. To restore aquatic life, 200 fish fingerlings were released. Awareness rallies convinced villagers to stop dumping waste.
🌱 Long-Term Impact
The pond is now clean, alive, and useful again.
- Provides water for cattle and irrigation.
