00:00How can we make our city a better place?
00:04We need to make sure that our youth are not left behind.
00:08We need to make sure that our youth are not left behind.
00:12We need to make sure that our youth are not left behind.
00:16There is a youth group among the Nikai Chunao that is constantly looking at this election.
00:23They are also looking at how the city of Dehradun can develop.
00:27How can we make the rivers cleaner and how can we make the green Dehradun dream come true.
00:31They are going to the candidates.
00:33All the mayors who are fighting for the mayoral election,
00:38we are the candidates, we have spoken to them.
00:40You have come here.
00:42You have brought some bottles.
00:43What is in these bottles?
00:45And what message do you want to give?
00:48Sir, we want to give the message to people that we have new upcoming candidates.
00:52The first two governments have not been able to clean this water.
00:55Will the new government be able to clean this water?
00:58This is our message.
01:00Today I saw that you were getting a form filled.
01:04What is that form and what do you want to ask?
01:06We have brought a pledge letter.
01:08We want all the mayors who have come here to sign it.
01:11They will take care of all these things in their tenure.
01:14What is in this letter?
01:16First of all, they will work on the Punarudhars of Rispan and Bindal.
01:20Secondly, Dehradun is a very eco-sensitive zone.
01:24And all the illegal construction that is being done here,
01:27all the plastic that is being used, they will put a stop to it.
01:30Secondly, we will focus on the plantation.
01:34Because last year we saw that the temperature of Dehradun reached 43 degrees.
01:38Secondly, all the tourist spots there should be banned on single time plastic
01:43so that the beauty of that place is maintained.
01:46Our other point is that such policies should be implemented in Dehradun.
01:51The town hall mayor should hold a meeting once a month
01:56so that the sustainability of these things is maintained.
02:00We want a sustainable Dehradun.
02:02That's why we have brought an initiative today.
02:04We have brought our own clothes bags.
02:07And we have brought our water bottles in glass bottles
02:11to show that we want a plastic-free Dehradun.
02:14Okay, fine.
02:15You were also taking some numbers.
02:17You will also contact them later.
02:19What kind of contact will you have?
02:20What are you going to say to them?
02:21We are giving them an invitation early in the morning.
02:23There is a tea invitation at Rispana in the morning.
02:25Like we are seeing Rispana,
02:27they should also come early in the morning and see Rispana.
02:29Okay.
02:30Okay, tell me that in Dehradun city,
02:32are you seeing any change?
02:34Green Dehradun used to be there earlier.
02:36But are you seeing any change that you have to take this step?
02:39You are only seeing normal traffic.
02:41And accidents are increasing day by day.
02:43What do you see in the name of Green Dehradun?
02:46There is nothing.
02:47There is nothing in the name of Green Dehradun.
02:49Tell us about yourself.
02:50What do you do?
02:52How did you come to this movement?
02:53What have you done so far?
02:55We are making a difference by being a difference.
02:57We are a student activist group
03:00which is funded by pocket money.
03:02That means we don't take any funds from the government.
03:04We are all funding our NGO with our pocket money.
03:08We come every Sunday.
03:10Our NGO has been running since 2011.
03:12We meet every Sunday and do small activities.
03:15In which we do wall transformation.
03:17Now the government doesn't do all the walls.
03:20But earlier we used to do this.
03:21Secondly, we run a cleanliness drive.
03:23And we have been working on the revival of Rispana for a long time.
03:26In 2016, we did a research with NIT Roorkee
03:32in which it was found that Rispana and Bindal
03:35is a perennial river.
03:38Yes, it is a perennial river.
03:40It doesn't come only in monsoons.
03:43The water flows from below.
03:45And we found out that if we want to revive it
03:50then the first thing is the illegal encroachment.
03:53Because all the water from that encroachment
03:56goes into the river.
03:58Which is a very important point
04:01as to why it is not being revived.
04:03So the catchment area of the river should be 100 meters.
04:08And if you see now, we don't even get 10 meters.
04:11Because all the encroachment has been done.
04:13And the second point is that
04:15if we run a plantation drive around the encroachment
04:23then it will be revived on its own.
04:26So we are also trying to fulfill the dream of Green Dhoom.
04:30To fulfill the dream of Green Dhoom,
04:33how did you come up with this concept
04:35that we will talk to the participants
04:37and take a bottle of water?
04:39Should there be political participation?
04:41Or should they also think about it?
04:43What did you think about it?
04:45When we got the idea that we will take water
04:48our first thought was that this is water.
04:50Along with this, we wanted to say
04:52that we showed this water to the participants
04:55and took a photo.
04:56We want that next time when they do their own work
04:59they take a pledge from themselves
05:01that we have to improve this water.
05:03If they improve this water,
05:05then a lot of problems of Dehradun get solved.
05:08The temperature in Dehradun was so high
05:10that if we go to save our rivers,
05:12then we will have to open a tree.
05:14We will have to settle the nearby settlements somewhere else.
05:17And by stopping the growing settlements,
05:19we will have to grow a small jungle there.
05:22So a lot of problems of Dehradun
05:24are solved in the way of a river.
05:26Our plan was to show this water
05:29and make them realize that this water
05:31was something that people used to drink while walking.
05:33And today, this water is not suitable for walking.
05:35This is a very good idea.
05:37And it is a very good step
05:39that youth are coming forward
05:41and are looking at their future.
05:43And how can they breathe in the clean air?
05:47How can they improve their future?
05:49They are coming forward for this.
05:51Obviously, such campaigns are seen less.
05:53But the way youth have come forward,
05:55it will force political parties
05:57and politicians to think
05:59that how important
06:01clean water and air is.
06:03And if you want to come to power,
06:05if you want to win the elections,
06:07then these are also agendas.
06:09These are also issues.
06:11That is, elections are won on such issues
06:13or such issues will also be put
06:15in front of the public.
06:17People also want to see the issue
06:19of clean water and air.
06:21What the youth have said about clean water
06:23and air is really commendable.
06:25And it is hoped that
06:27they will definitely think about it.
