1st video in a series, in reference to the ongoing situation related to the Ken Betwa River Linking project, & a lot of people learning about it for the 1st time.
I thought it would be appropriate to explain it a bit differently. Watch here: youtu.be/vLvW0wCQjok

‘In its journey, the river carries more than just water. It carries memories, scars, tears & joys of a region divided by a political border, yet bound by a shared history, language & culture.’
Join a poignant walk up the Beas River in #India. @veditum

⏳ How do you act on a problem that refuses to fit inside data?
Sand mining in rivers is a wicked problem to track.
@sidagarwal from @veditum will share at #VizChitra2026 how India Sand Watch became an open-data effort around that challenge.
More: vizchitra.com/2026/sessions/…
ALT VizChitra 2026 talk announcement featuring Siddharth Agarwal, Founder of Veditum India Foundation, speaking on illegal sand mining in India’s rivers and how it resists simple data solutions. The session titled "Sand, Data, and Wicked Problems" explores India Sand Watch and its evolution from early machine learning attempts into a large open-data effort built through volunteering networks, data sprints, and cross-sector collaboration. Includes QR code for VizChitra 2026 at Bangalore International Centre on 4 July 202
We didn't think that one of our fellows from the @moving_upstream fellowship will end up creating a song from their walk. But @SariyaVandita did just that.
Experience this song from the desert river Luni!

उत्तर प्रदेश के मिर्जापुर में गंगा किनारे स्थित कछुआ संरक्षित क्षेत्र जैव विविधता के लिए महत्वपूर्ण है। यह देश का एक मात्र मीठे पानी में पाये जाने वाले कछुओं का अभयारण्य है जो वाराणसी से स्थानांतरित किया गया है और दुर्लभ कछुओं का प्रजनन स्थल है। कड़े प्रतिबंधों के बावजूद अवैध खनन यहां के पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र और कछुओं के अस्तित्व के लिए गंभीर खतरा बन गया है। प्रस्तुत है कछुआ अभयारण्य से ग्राउंड रिपोर्ट।
