"If I allowed a lake to die before my eyes, then I'm partly responsible for its demise. " Best words by Usha Rajagopalan.
So it takes an old lady and not government or scientists to solve the problem. Amazing lady!
Thatz India government just bloodsuckers
Thats the mindset we have. Even we are equally responsible. If not us then who ? Don’t always wait for others or blame others.
No, it takes scientists, just not gangsters in Government.
the govt has let her live and not killed her yet. india is a land where so many environmentalists are killed .
Better to not depend on government. Each individual should take responsibility and work hard. There is no other solution in this country.
Abdul Kalam said, India is not poor but indians thinking is poor. If our fellow citizens change the way we think, incredible things can happen this is the Best example. We don't need any 3rd party politicians to change our surroundings . This is in our hands . Ty for such a beautiful video inspiring.
one politician in power can do what thousands of citizens could do with their efforts ..
@@solivagantsat agreed but look what they are doing. Do we see thousands of efforts ? (They are good politicians) but most leave us in hopeless .
@@MrSrikantagowda you think modi is a good politician then why the god damn ganga is not cleaned
@@Aayushman_Yen it is getting cleaned..... Once it reaches the threshold the whole procedure will be Ultrafast....
@@nutlover3609 no indian tax payer are less...
This is why I call Karnataka as the most innovative and hard-working state.
Go ahead Karnataka 👊 keep growing.
Love from Maharashtra...
And mumbai remains every Indian's jaan
@@vineetnagavi3689 because mumbai is the megacity which has thousands of big trees and bird within the city.
Production quality is just amazing. Haven't seen the likes of such in Indian media. You guys are clearly setting the bar higher. Way to go.
They have teamed up with German media.....see at the left top corner
@@Pavanchoudar yeah... Thats Deutsche Welle.... they produce good content
DW, the BBC of Germany.
I agree except for the audio quality of the narrator. scroll has not gotten it right from the beginning, it sounds muffled.
get out of school kid. It clearly mentions DW on the top.
btw go watch etheral channel to see what good video shots mean. And it is just a guy doing it. I think u r libtard idiot.
The real CIVIL SERVANTS spotted !!!
ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿ ನ ಹಾಗು ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿ ನವರ ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಅಮೂಲ್ಯವಾದ ವಸ್ತು ಇದು. ಇಂಥಹ ಜನರಿಗೆ ನಮ್ಮೆಲರ ಪ್ರೋತ್ಸ್ಯಹ ಸಿಗಲಿ..ಭಲೇ
As a Bangalorean, living far away, this is so heart warming to see. Let the city thrive sustainably and let all beings live peacefully. Jai Bengaluru
definately they need 😍
ಈಗಲೂ ಕೂಡ ಬೆಳ್ಳಂದೂರು ಕೆರೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮಳೆ ಬಂದರೆ ನೊರೆ ಬರುತ್ತೆ ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಕಾರಣ ಅಕ್ಕ ಪಕ್ಕ ಒತ್ತುವರಿ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡಿರುವ ಕೆರೆ ಜಾಗ ಮತ್ತು ಕಾರ್ಖಾನೆಯಿಂದ ಬರೋ ನೀರು
I'm a Bangalorean and seeing this makes my heart warm...
I just donno why, I want to be a part of this series. So close to my heart and something I'm good at doing. Scroll keep doing the same❤️
Scroll® with DW®.

"If I allowed a lake die in front of my eyes, then I am partly responsible for its demise" - such a strong statement. Yet another proven example of a real hero. Kudos mam & best wishes for the whole team
This should be replicated across all the cities in India
These r our real hero.
It is the duty of every resident of Bangalore to stride fr these lakes.
Absence of lakes will threaten existence of Bangalore..
Kudos to these ladies.
I stay near Avalahalli lake in Bengaluru. It was also receiving a lot of sewage. Now they are diverting the sewage and they have emptied the lake to remove the silt and everything in the lake bed.
After that it'll be filled up again in the coming years I think.
looks promising. However keep a close watch because if enough fresh water is provided lake can mitigate the pollutants by itself it doesn't need emptying. Yes silting is one problem, still keep a close watch so that it isn't replaced by some human made concrete jungle.
I m a road side tree plantationer. It giving me strength.
bengaluru.citizenmatters.in/alahalli-lake-restored-after-eight-long-years-34618
I just found an article showing that the lake is indeed being rejuvenated.
Whats the status of this lake now?
Ya..near Glass factory right..??
This made me emotional.. lived the best days of my life here.. and happy to see things working out.. hope I would be able to contribute someday..
Thankyou for being responsible and. Making NEWS that matters to the masses..
I say kill whole of humanity..stupid materialistic race
Kumar Rohit how did you tolerate all the racism by southies in bangalore
@@monalisagoswami8184 sorry mam if u faced 1 or 2 incidents by some idiots
But doesnt make all of us racists
Many south indians also face racism in north what do u say abt that?
@@karthikshinde6739 Stop apologizing to such biased women😊
@@monalisagoswami8184 the society itself is polluted by people like you.go and get a life
Added the video to suggest my city's mayor for enhancements. I hope they hear it out. My city, Gwalior, also have had lakes that died eventually. Quite some money has been spent on them to revive. I hope this idea helps. 🙂
Taksh Sharma Same goes with Jabalpur sir , though some lakes have been restored to their full glory our river Narmada still takes it for the team. Same measures could be adopted to save our rivers too.
so far not much has happened to my hometown (Rewa) which has 9 water falls and 4 rivers but things are changing now
I'm from Gwalior, staying in Bangalore. So I can relate to both the situation at this moment. Can you give me more info about lakes in Gwalior?
illegal plotting ki vajah se dikkat paida hoti hai ,ploitics ke karan samay par ilaj nahi hota
kharab waste management ki vajah se bigad jati hain
solution
1.cleaning & reviving wells and baoris from state time with public private partnership
2.effective integrated master-plan for the city and satellite towns
3.measures to make sure master plan is not ignored by developers and public(better law enforcement)
4:36 putting in a shot or two from Mysore, hoping no one will notice.
But it's a good job guys. A Job well done.
Bangalore was once known as the 'garden city'.😯
Here in the Philippines, Laguna de Bay is also experiencing devastation. Yet, no one made long term solutions and action to stop it.
We need this team in Maharashtra....
Delhi also
You need teams like this across india and it should be funded by the govt.
You can create one by yourself
Create your own team, then ask for their help if you need it.
This grandma is god for nature. Big thanks to her to revived the lake.💕💖💗❤💓👏👏👏👏👏
This kind of work should come in front of the country, people of India should know this kind of project but todays media only showing the negative things, we should support the people who are taking part in the solution of the ecological problem.
This is a good channel who is projecting this kind of things in front of the country.
As a Bangalorean this gives me hope. Thank you for those who are doing all they can to preserve the lakes and water sources in and around this once beautiful city.
Always great to watch such Indian projects and how they are so hell bent on making their country look beautiful and the advancements you guys are making in other sectors as well. Immense respect for people who take it upon themselves to do something for their country whole heartedly. Whereas the governments are busy fighting elections and swimming over banks of corrupt money. Wish the government/people in Bangladesh get inspiration from such projects and take similar initiatives to protect the lakes back here. Love from Bangladesh ❤️
jai hind,u guys are a perfect example of how India is developing-through innovation and taking initiative rather than blaming the govt.
This can happen only in non BJP govt state...bcoz our minds have a lot to think other than hindu-muslim & mandir-masjid.
@@KhanTeam07 he was not talking about Hindu-Muslim, Mandir-masjid but you started this shows that you are more concerned about Hindu Muslim issues.
Jai Modi, Jai Hind, vande matram
@@KhanTeam07 shut your mouth..you people are real traitors 😬😬 did he say anything about politics here...btw All three MPs of Bangalore are BJP from last 3 decades...
@@KhanTeam07 absolutely true brother
Love Bangalore ...beautiful city ...from UAE...
All hail the activists....❤
This is what should be shown to the public , its high time we start being responsible for our environment , these people should be recognised and should be hailed as perfect examples for the future generation to look up to
This makes me happy
Respect to all of you engaged in this amazing activity.
Hope to be a part of it.
Mrs. Rajgopalan you are an inspiration. Wishing you good health and success in all your endeavours. Bangalore Citizen Committees are doing a commendable job. Keep up the good work. Lots of love from Mumbai. 🙏
Amazing and inspiring. I love Bangalore the first time I saw it and was sad about its dying lake but now there is hope. Long live Bangalore.
Proud of Banglorians! Continue inspiring others!
खूप छान बेंगळुरू सिटीझन ग्रुप 👌👌
ತುಂಬಾ ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದು
Thank you DW & Eco India.
My urge to all viewer to share it as much as possible that it become a social movement across the world.
I being a banglorean always pray the city to be evergreen through the year with all lakes filled and river with clean water to flow ❤️
Salute to Usha ma'am for all that she did and has been doing for the lake and mother earth! ♥️
Wowww!!! This lake was near my house , good to see it improve sooo much!!!!
Guys this is time to fight for the nature rather than caste and religion. The real blessing goes from god to this kind of people those really saves nature . 1000 bows 🙇 to all of you.
ನಿಮ್ಮ ಕೆಲಸಕ್ಕೆ ಅಭಿನಂದನೆಗಳು.
ಇದೆ ತರಹ ನಿರಂತರವಾಗಿರಲಿ
Wow..a middle aged woman having the determination to fix things and they are nailing it. All the government and the government servants should be ashamed of them selves.
They only make money at the tax payers expense ...Shameful corrupt administration here
Maharashtra and other states need this method to save our water bodies. And the direction is superb, scene selection, everything is kinda movie version.
The human races is blessed by having having people like Usha Rajagopal because they make people aware about ecological importance and try to built better society.
I wonder How can any one dislike this video....They are doing it for saving our mother nature..... The nature form which we get oxygen to live and every smallest to largest things that we use, from food to every essential things...... As human polluted the mother nature, it's our duty to save it .
Very Good Job.....
Bangalore Is The Silicon Valley Of Asia.
Love For Bangalore ❤️
Too good.
Scroll - keep it up.
We would like to watch more of this kind of videos.
Let it be for weekend edition.
Let filter the Country and make it healthy.
Salutes to you madam, you are indeed an inspiration for generations to come
I don't know why people have disliked this effort. This is what we've to conserve to our next generation. Ironically people have least or no awareness about the importance of such lakes in our communities. Why only concerned citizens have to take these initiatives. What politicians and beurocrats are doing. Why do they pursue civil services. Why they are blind on such issues. Who issued NOC to the industries to let the effluents without treating. Hence apart from fixing downstream issues we also have to fix the root causes.
Huge respect to all the activists. We are really thankful ❤️
Scroll is doing a superb job.
Kudos to the hardworking team who are saving the Nature !!!!... Great effort!!...Proud of you.
Kudos to the whole team who cleaned the lake and maintaining it.👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Its just amazing ...thnq scroll ❤
Similar artificial lake island project to reduce pollution in water bodies is going on in Hussain Sagar Lake, Hyderabad. Seems one is inspired from other.
I am a malayalee visited Hussain Sagar , Hyd a few years back was disappointed the way it's shores end up as a waste yard ...Sounds good that it's reviving
s9 ka9 well thanks for the concern. Yes it is reviving now. Perhaps people need to change their behavior too of dumping garbage.
i am amazed to see the efforts made by all of you and ppl like you inspires us(the budding architects and planners) to step forward and contribute our part of life to the cause.
being in the profession and studying about the depth makes us feel so alive and heros like you motivates us to put our studies into the action.
I wish you all the best and would love to contribute my part.
incredible...wow. this lady needs a medal and international recognition. Indians are amazing.
She is really great
Usha ma'am wonderful work!!!!
Too many people in india thats there Problem
Stunning work by everybody involved. It's important for oneself to be educated of the impending crisis if we run out of fresh water. Let's all do our bit. ♥️
Kudos to you folks for doing what you do!
really well produced and inspiring
Nammuru Bengaluru
Absolutely proud of them!
Keep up the good work. So good to see this
Citizens should also be educated enough to not dump the garbage in the rivers and keep the water bodies cleaner.
People are educated but ignorant 😓
We Bangaloreans need to care a lot more on nature ,or it will kill us eventually.I know Bangaloreans have best ideas in India so cmmon try harder , don't give up.
I am from Bangalore. Peoples must work on weast management also
It is very inspiring to see such videos and hats off to all those people who are contributing for this holy cause
we need to Save the great "Vrishabhavthi" River which flows in Bengaluru. But now it's a drainage filled with garbage. My ancestors used to tell that Vrishabhavathi was a sacred river to them. I feel like crying 😢 when I see the river now. Kindly Bring back the river to its old form I'll also support. Let's spread awareness and bring back the river to its old Form
152 disliked,, industrialists may be.. or the ones whose sewage waters ending up in the lakes
I really don't understand why can't govt do this. Why do citizens have to use their time and money to do this. What are we paying tax for?
You are paying tax to make politicians rich
You need to change your thinking. No one is to blame. You have to start from within. Do not wait for others to do their part. It is true that we pay the tax. But is nature the sole responsibility of governments and NGOs? We need to do our part. It is we who have polluted it. It's the collective responsibility.
Christy P Benny or the govt can do their job and provide us with the resources to keep the nature like it is intended to be.
Look up waste management system! Atleast garbage bins to begin with!
Rushabh Patel : I completely agree with u , I have always the same question. Yes as citizens we should also contribute to the change , but we citizens wouldn’t have as much money as the govt does , so when there is so much money allotted on a yearly basis , it should be utilised in a correct way and not fill up politicians bank A/cs. Why r the politicians rich ? No one does their job sincerely and expect us to bring the change while we hardly get time to survive in this city ! It should be the government’s duty to clean the mess up and start educating people about the effects of polluting the environment!
@@Sunil-fg1rf they have money to build 3000 crore statue but can't clean our lakes and the solution is so simple and cheap. If govt did it they would say it cost 10 crore to clean the lake. They should put up hydroponics everywhere in every lake in India.
This is phenomenal, kudos to all the activists and aware citizens. This shows, simple solutions work and all that is required is the right attitude to start the execution.
watched it after recent water-crisis in Bangalore. Thanks for such episode.
Im telling this! Bengaluru is the next big thing !!
Really great job❤❤
salute to ppl like you!!! Everyone should contribute toward the society.
Best wishes to this beautiful people who have done best work of life, we all citizens should come forward to save water bodies..... I wish this work spread in whole state ❤️❤️❤️
Good one. Could you please increase the audio loudness a little. I can't hear this in bangalore noise even with an earphone . Not kidding
You probably need better earphones mate. I can hear them just fine.

@@Harshityaaar IT MEANS MUSLIMS MAY HAVE A HINDYU NAME NOTHING
Great story line.. Good cinematography..Great narration... and a good cause for common citizens to learn n be aware the importance of lake conservation.
We need more citizens like this to make this world a better place for all. Parents should inculcate the importance of a green, eco friendly environment. Just mugging up environmental science question in school will not nurture their instincts.
As a Bengalurean my heart aches to see the lakes in the squalid condition as they are in today.
My respects to these lovely activists who have taken up the task of reviving lakes!, but true change can only happen when Government comes up with the correct policies and government bodies do the job properly, unfortunately those working in these departments are nothing but a bunch of incompetent, greedy, corrupt officials with pot belly's.
One of the best cities to live in. Wish I could go there it sucks here in Hyderabad
Hats off to such people...
U all are really doing a great job...
Kudos to these ladies. It's inspiring to hear their story.
Heads off these people's.
Government is and will not do anything....we have to take command in our hands....stop doing debates and make your hands dirty.......
what wrong she did for deserving heads off. Brutal. hahaha
Bengaluru is world's most costly land fill.
We need such activists in every cities and villages of India. Namaskaram to USHA ji🙏
my grandfather lived there in the 1890s and by all accounts it was a beautiful city! This should be a template for the earth.
It got absolutely smoked after the Y2K IT boom, more people migrated more lakes disappeared.
Just the tip of the ice-berg ... its a lot shittier :0) .. I live in blore
All thanks to outer state people who brought such a disaster !!!...
All thanks those came here seeking job and shelter who ruined our river Rushabhavathi and lakes !!!...
If you feel shit here in Bangalore you can quit Bangalore !!!...
All thanks to outer state people who came here seeking job and shelter. Finally end up ruining everything !!!...
Massive respect to Mrs Usha. We need some one like her in Mumbai to help clean our lakes and beaches given the fact that a festival is approaching where people immerse elephant idols into water bodies in the name of religion.
God bless those great souls .... N it's great n heartening to see so many woman activists leading from the front .... 🙏🙏🙏
salute to you amma ...respect and regards
So angels don't necessarily have wings and miracles are created by the mind and body. That was quite good to watch and see the transformation. I hope that lady has the lake named after her
This is so heartening to see, people power at its best 👏👏👏
After watching this it feels like we can change our environment. All it needs people like you all.
Love Bangalore
Proud bangalorian
Great initiative..Hats off to such noble people...India is proud to have such responsible citizens
Thank you for doing these videos Scroll, it really is a great service to all of us!
Guys please share such videos on Facebook and WhatsApp. That will spread awareness and our people will come to know that many good things are happening in India, which media won't bother to show...
Great job everyone who is working for this cause ! Kudos ! Bengaluru needs more of us to step like you did, lets make it beautiful and healthy again :)
