Stretching across 9 states, the Godavari Basin is one of India’s richest natural and cultural landscapes. Its waters connect lives, lands, and legacies. The Godavari Initiative brings together diverse actors—governments, local communities, industries, civil society, and researchers—on a shared platform of stewardship.
We anchor our work around five key levers that bring convergence, trust, and transformation to the basin:
Partnerships
Partnerships with government, civil society, and communities.
Knowledge
Knowledge to guide decisions with data, tradition and insight.
Community engagement
Community engagement to ensure every voice shapes the future.
Nature-based solutions
Nature-based solutions rooted in local contexts and wisdom.
Corporate stewardship
Corporate stewardship aligned with environmental values.
From building awareness in schools to supporting national-level consultations with policymakers, TGI drives impact across scales and sectors, powered by collective action and locally led change.
"Jan Godavari" builds environmental consciousness at the grassroots.
Through creative campaigns, events, and dialogues, we spark awareness and inspire ownership across geographies. Whether it’s school students or farmers or any community member, everyone becomes a stakeholder in the basin’s well-being.
We believe awareness is the first step toward action.

"Gyan Godavari" fuels innovation, research, and data-driven decision-making.
We build a shared knowledge infrastructure to empower better governance and interventions. By making data meaningful and actionable, we enable smarter and more sustainable solutions.
Our knowledge vertical includes:
Impact Dashboard
The TGI Impact Aggregator Dashboard is a live mapping platform that showcases all interventions by EOI partners across the Godavari river basin. It visually tracks activities and scientifically measures their impact, offering transparent, data-driven insights. The dashboard recognizes partners’ efforts and helps guide future action, making it a valuable tool for collaboration, recognition, and effective river basin management.
Nature-based Solutions Database
A dedicated repository to capture ongoing learning, outcomes, and field-level designs for replication by our partner organizations, aimed at supporting sustainable practices, enhancing ecological resilience, and providing practical guidance for effective project implementation.
"Karm Godavari" translates intent into implementation.
We facilitate convergence across ministries, departments, and sectors.
