The Eco Restoration of Manamedu Eri initiative was carried out in March 2026 as part of ongoing efforts to revive local water bodies and strengthen ecological resilience in the region. The restoration activity was undertaken in collaboration with the Manamedu Eri SangamSvarnim Puducherry, and partners from the Sri Aurobindo Society, with support from Marico and the Government of Puducherry.

The initiative focused on restoring the ecological health of Manamedu Eri, a vital local water body that plays an important role in supporting groundwater recharge, biodiversity, and community livelihoods. The project aimed to revive the water system, restore surrounding biodiversity, and strengthen community participation in protecting and maintaining the ecosystem.

Through coordinated efforts involving local stakeholders and volunteers, activities were carried out to improve the ecological condition of the lake and its surroundings. The initiative emphasized the importance of community stewardship in sustaining natural resources and highlighted how restoring water bodies can contribute to environmental balance and long-term water security.

The project reflects a shared commitment toward reviving water ecosystems, restoring biodiversity, and rebuilding community connections with nature, ensuring that Manamedu Eri continues to serve as a valuable ecological and social resource for the region
