The initiation
In his mind, Arun considers it a greater achievement that as an eighth grader, he was able to convince the President of Mudichur panchayat, to put up a fence around a pond that he believed was under threat of encroachment.
Arun had noticed that a fairly large lake, which everyone believed was under the watch of the IAF, disappeared slowly but surely, thanks to relentless encroachments and the Highways department. He decided that he had to do something about the pond near his house, where he and his friends would jump in playfully and bring out any garbage or flotsam that they found in the water.
He approached the President of the Panchayat, Mr Damodaran, to put up a fence around the pond. Not only did he agree to that request, but he also asked the boy and his friends to point out other water bodies where they believed action was required to be taken. Thus began Arun’s abiding journey with scientific conservation of water bodies.
