The Yamuna River Basin is more than a river system; it is a lifeline supporting ecosystems, biodiversity, agriculture, and millions of people across northern India. Flowing across 1,376 kilometres and seven states, the Yamuna connects communities, cultures, and natural landscapes, playing a critical role in ecological balance, water security, and climate resilience. Continuing the message of International Day for Biological Diversity 2026, HCLFoundation supports collective action towards ecological resilience and river basin restoration. With the launch of the Yamuna Basin Challenge 2026, we invite youth, researchers, innovators, nonprofits, artists, and communities to come together and contribute towards building a resilient future for the Yamuna Basin.
