They are Health, Education, Economic Development of Poor, Environment, Rights of women and Children to name some. We try to answer the difference a project grant will make to our target people with reference to Sustainable Development Goals No.s 1.b, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 13.1.
The project envisages to protect Cheyyar river banks at Thatchur Village by enriching the suitable bio-diversity while achieving the some of the Sustainable Development Goals under Poverty, Hunger, Health and Climate change. This will also take into the account of life on the land and life under water. Many plants have been lost and with them many entomological and bird species also lost.
The project activities will take place on the banks of Kanji River near the village of Thatchur, Arni Taluk, Tiruvannamalai District, Tamil Nadu, India. There is a bridge and all sides of bridge will be the target area. The actual distance to be covered will be about 8 Kilo meters of length and about 20-30 meters of breadth. The distance to the target area from the nearest air port Chennai is about 153 Kilometers by road. From Bangaluru air port to the target area is 251 Kilometers by road.
