Hamirpur (Uttar Pradesh), March 12 (ANI): Nestled in the Bundelkhand region of Hamirpur, the district is known for its fertile plains and hardworking farming communities. Blessed with rivers like the Yamuna River and the Betwa River, the region is now witnessing the remarkable revival of the Chandrawal River. Originating in Mahoba, the Chandrawal River flows nearly 68 kilometres through Hamirpur district, from Gram Panchayat Guda to Gram Panchayat Kaithi, before entering Banda where it ultimately merges with the Ken River. Once reduced to a polluted drain, the river has now been transformed into a symbol of environmental renewal. The revival was carried out under Mission Jalodaya and the Namami Gange Programme with active participation from local communities. The district administration divided the river into 19 sections, carried out desilting, removed waste, monitored industrial discharge, and ensured strict water quality testing. After months of dedicated work, the Chandrawal River was successfully rejuvenated in December 2025. Today it flows clean and vibrant, bringing life to more than two dozen villages. For farmers, the river has become a lifeline—providing irrigation water, enriching soil fertility, and boosting crop production. With community participation, ghat beautification, and large-scale plantation along the banks, the Chandrawal River now stands as a powerful example of sustainable development and collective action.
