Bandhan Bank Project – Ongoing Activities

Under the Bandhan Bank Project, several environmental monitoring and research activities are being carried out to strengthen ecological conservation and scientific understanding in the region.

Water quality monitoring is being continued regularly to assess the condition and safety of water bodies. In addition, a wetland plant biodiversity assessment is being conducted in various Eris (lakes) of Puducherry to document and understand the diversity of plant species present in these ecosystems.

Preparations are also underway for the next session of the Puducherry Bird Atlas, which is planned to be conducted from 6th to 9th March. This initiative aims to document bird species and contribute to long-term biodiversity monitoring in the region.

Furthermore, advanced water quality parameters are being assessed in collaboration with Visva-Bharati University and IIT, supporting detailed scientific analysis and strengthening research efforts related to water quality and environmental health.
