Yamuna has many aspects of her being. In sharp contrast to its widespread public image of being a river contaminated with pollutants, it nurtures vegetable farming on its banks. Cultivating these vegetables is a vital source of livelihood to thousands of urban farmers in Delhi. These urban farmers are barely chronicled in country's agrarian landscape. Gaon Connection offers a pictorial tribute to these farmers in a photo essay.

Developmental pressures have seen the Yamuna riverbed in Delhi eyed by various developmental authorities -- power plants, refugee settlements, Metro station, Akshardham temple. The list goes on. Now, an elevated road is proposed on the river's floodplains

जैसे ही मैंने मानसून के बादलों को आकाश में नाचते हुए देखा, मन दुख और गम के गहरे अंधेरे में गोते लगाने लगा। मेरे ज़ेहन में रह-रह कर मनोज मिश्रा जी की यादें आ रही थी। उन्हें हम प्यार से रिवर वॉरियर कहकर बुलाते थे। वह ठीक एक हफ्ते पहले, 4 जून को दूसरी दुनिया में चले गए। नदी के उस पार, दूर आसमान में, जिसे मैं मुंबई में अपने अपार्टमेंट से खड़ी होकर ताक रही थी।

In the second week of July, water from the Yamuna river made inroads in Delhi and submerged areas that had not witnessed flooding for decades. The floods not only disrupted the lives of almost 30 million people but also displaced thousands who lived in slums. Gaon Connection offers you a visual insight from the relief camps where the displaced population continues to struggle.

The monsoon clouds this year brought memories of Manoj Misra ji, the river warrior, with whom I have enjoyed informed conversations about rivers, monsoon and rainfall. He passed away on June 4, leaving behind a void in the environment conservation movement in the country.
