Almost Every one knows That Rajender Singh educated the villagers about the wisdom of ancient methods of water conservation. He motivated the villagers for repairing abandoned johads ,we in himachal call them Kufars, check dams, and restoring dried up wells. His vision worked and Miraculously the river Aravari, that had only been a fading memory, started flowing again ( RIVER REBORN) after about eight decades! He tirelessly worked 13 years for the restoration of the river.
Known as JALPURUSH and WATERMAN of India is fouder of Tarun Bharat Sangh, working intensively on water conservation-Need of the hour.
