Kishori Kund in Braj Restored Through Joint Initiative

The sacred Kishori Kund in Pisava vill near Barsana has been restored through a cooperative trouble between Anandana – The Coca- Cola India Foundation and Say Earth. The design marks a significant intervention in reviving a culturally important water body that had deteriorated over several times due to sewage flux, accumulated waste and poor conservation.

The restored point covers roughly 18,000 square metres and now holds an estimated storehouse capacity of around 480 million litres. The action aligns with the Government of India’s broader strategy aimed at strengthening water security and perfecting original access to clean and functional community water spaces.

Addressing Years of Degradation

For numerous times, Kishori Kund had remained in a oppressively degraded condition. Wastewater discharge and unmanaged solid waste had reduced its ecological function and damaged its artistic significance. Original residers and tabernacle caretakers had reported that the area was no longer safe for use by the community, nor conducive to sustaining original biodiversity.

A Collaborative Restoration Plan

Say Earth and Anandana concertedly carried out a detailed assessment of the kund to determine the extent of deterioration and the interventions needed for long- term recovery. The organisations also partnered with the Gram Panchayat, quarter authorities and the original community to take over a structured restoration plan. This involved desilting, waste junking, repairs to damaged dikes and advancements to the girding geography.

As part of the work, the incoming water channels were treated to reduce the flux of weakened water and to guard the quality of the restored water body. With these measures in place, the kund has been revived as a functional and accessible community asset. residers have begun using the area again, with original reports indicating bettered comfort, safety and renewed artistic engagement.

The Role of Community Participation

The action also demonstrates the part of community participation in water body restoration. Original residers contributed to planning, covering and sustaining the work, helping bed the design within the broader fabric of vill involvement. The organisations involved have stressed the significance of establishing systems that insure long- term keep and protection of restored spots.

Part of a Broader Water Stewardship Campaign

The restoration of Kishori Kund is part of Coca- Cola India’s wider stimulating Difference crusade, which focuses on watershed protection, responsible water use and community- grounded enterprise. Under this programme, Anandana mates with grassroots organisations to support water access, ameliorate force systems and promote nature-positive interventions in different regions.

By engaging original communities and institutions, the design aims to strengthen pastoral water adaptability and save locales of artistic and social significance. The enhanced geography around the kund is anticipated to ameliorate ecological conditions, support original species and give a cleaner terrain for pilgrims and residers.

Anandana’s broader accreditation includes supporting sustainable development and inclusive growth. The Foundation works through subventions and hookups with NGOs, cooperatives and community groups to apply systems related to social weal and environmental enhancement across India. The organisation’s focus on water stewardship has played a central part in its community engagement sweats.

A Model for Future Interventions

The Kishori Kund restoration is being deposited as a model for analogous interventions in heritage water bodies that face declination due to waste, pollution or poor conservation. With bettered water storehouse, upgraded structure and renewed public use, the restored kund serves as an illustration of how coordinated action can rebuild natural means while supporting ecological recovery and artistic preservation.

The design reinforces the growing emphasis on integrating community participation with scientific restoration practices to achieve sustainable issues. As water bodies across India continue to face pressures linked to urbanisation, pollution and climate change, similar enterprise punctuate the significance of long- term planning, original hookups and ongoing monitoring.
