How did we get here?

It all started in the year 2016, when residents surrounding Gangaram lake noticed persistent and illegal rock cutting on the lake shore by some construction workers. Many residents came together and then realized that it was time to save the lake. From then we conducted several lake cleaning activities and awareness campaigns, submitted several representations to various government bodies and politicians. Over a period of time, we learnt that we needed a formal body to represent the voice of thousands of residents and finally launched Gangaram Lake Restoration (GLARE) foundation in May 2017.

What is our mission?

• Control Gangaram lake contamination due to untreated sewage and various effluents.
• Demarcate the lake boundaries by boundary marking and fencing.
• Work with local community, scientific institutions, NGO's, and Government bodies to develop sustainable lake conservation plan.
• Maintain the rich Bio Diversity, improve lake water quality, protect and promote health of lake shore communities.
