Prime Minister Narendra on Sunday mentioned about the rejuvenation of Naganadhi river during the 81st episode of his monthly radio programme Mann Ki Baat. An army of over a 1,000 women from 21 villages of a block in Vellore district built recharge wells and check dams to revive the groundwater which, in turn, gave life back to the river.
