An in-depth look at how Nirmal Niranjana Trust works on the ground.
Nirmal Niranjana Trust works across conservation, culture, community, and policy
Regular cleanup drives along the Niranjana riverbank, organised with local volunteers and monastery communities, aimed at reviving the river on the Namami Gange model in partnership with the Ministry of Jal Shakti and NMCG.
Riverbank plantation drives to restore the local ecosystem, reduce erosion, and support the long-term health of the Niranjana river corridor, run in coordination with riverside village communities.
Cultural evenings, prayer gatherings, and events centred on Buddhist heritage and the region's spiritual significance, held in and around Bodh Gaya's monasteries and cultural centres.
Outreach and awareness campaigns in riverside villages to build local participation in conservation efforts and highlight the connection between river health, livelihood, and tourism.
Building relationships with Buddhist monasteries and communities internationally — including recent visits to Sri Lankan monasteries — to bring global Buddhist voices into the river conservation effort.
Working directly with the Ministry of Jal Shakti, NMCG, and the Bihar state government on policy proposals, including the Namami Gange — Niranjana Mission (the river recharge effort) and MoU discussions for river cleaning and sewage treatment infrastructure.
Namami Niranjana Abhiyan 2027 brings this work together on one international stage.
