The India Water & Rivers Forum (IWRF), taking place on 7th October at Hotel Pullman, New Delhi, is a catalytic leadership platform shaping India’s dialogue on water stewardship, ESG priorities, and basin-level resilience. Co-hosted by CSRBOX in official partnership with the UN Global Compact CEO Water Mandate and the Water Resilience Coalition (WRC), the Forum brings together policy makers, key government departments, and private sector leaders to drive transformative action.

With participation from the Ministry of Jal Shakti, the Department of Land Resources (DoLR) as the nodal agency for watershed development, and leadership from Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, and other states, IWRF seeks to shift India’s water narrative from isolated interventions to collaborative, system-driven impact. Anchored in collective action, the Forum charts pathways toward a net-positive water future across India’s critical river basins.
