The Haritha Keralam Mission has already achieved great achievements in the field of water preservation by ensuring coordination and technical and financial support of various departments and agencies at the local self government level.  For the first time in India,  water budget has been prepared at the local self government level in India and water conservation activities have been initiated, and as part of the 'Make the Western Ghats Safe' campaign, mapping of watercourses has been carried out scientifically and accurately and activities are being successfully implemented to initiate their restoration.

As the third phase of the 'Let Me Flow Now' campaign aimed at the popular restoration of watercourses is progressing, significant achievements have already been achieved in the restoration of watercourses. As part of the state government's 'Malinya Muktham Nava Keralam' people's campaign, announcements of green tourism centers, green towns, green institutions, green schools, green colleges, etc. are also progressing.

The 'Environmental Gathering' will also become a platform for local self-government bodies, individuals, various institutions, and organizations, who have led such activities with public participation, to share their experiences, seek expert opinions, and honor those who have done remarkable work.
