as an apex body of local river protection councils for co-ordinating the
activities. As such the main aim of the society is to take initiative and
help in the formation of new local river protection councils(RPCs) which
will mobilise the local people to protect rivers by all possible ways.
The ultimate target is to have at least one RPC for each river.
The Council also tries to activate those RPCs which are dormant and
not actively working.
