On this occasion Sadguru said that we have prepared a draft to save the rivers. It may take up to 25 years to implement this draft, but this draft will prove to be effective for the next 500 years. He said that this will render clean rivers  to our future generations. He said that the prepared Vision document of 700 pages to save the rivers  will be presented to the Central Government. This document has been prepared in collaboration with all scientists and other experts.
