Saving Bangalore, one lake at a time | Anand Malligavad | TEDxIIITBangalore
The IT boom took its toll on nature. It seems like the economy and ecology are mutually disjoint. But, Anand Malligavad believes that they go hand-in-hand; and through his work to revive lakes, he is restoring Bangalore back to its former glory. Anand Malligavad is a lake conservationist who rejuvenated 7 lakes in the past 3 years within a limited span of time and resources.
Even though he was proud of the rapid growth happening in Bangalore, he was appalled by the unplanned growth and enormous pressure on the natural resources, leading to the death of so many lakes in and around Bangalore city.
This led him on his journey of rejuvenating lakes, even though the path wasn't very smooth, owing to the administrative hurdles, land mafia, encroachments, funding and most of all - winning over the mindset of people. His efforts have received media coverage from across the world including BBC NEWS. His work has been published in many newspapers and magazines such as - the Hindu, the Times of India, Suvarna News and many more. Now, His mission is to rejuvenate at least 25% of the lakes in Bangalore by 2025 and help the city become a drought-free city and avoid yet another Cape Town. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
