About
Why Pravāh exists.
Pravāh is a river restoration initiative based in Indore. We work on the Saraswati and Kanh as one connected system, using field data, engineering, and community action to understand what is happening and what can be done next.
What we do
We combine technology and science to develop restoration methods, while building a community of people who care about rivers and are willing to act on that care.
The work is split into two clear parts. One side focuses on field research, mapping, and restoration design. The other side focuses on people, outreach, cleanups, and long-term support on the ground.
How it started
Pravāh began with a simple question. How can river restoration in Indore be done with better data and stronger public participation?
The answer is a practical one. Start with the rivers people know, document them properly, and keep the work open enough for volunteers, researchers, and local support to join in.
Founder
Shaurya Pratap Singh founded Pravāh in Indore and leads the initiative's early work. The focus is on keeping the project practical, grounded, and useful to the city from the start.
