Landscape Treatment Can Advance Both Watershed Development and River Revival, Says DoLR Secretary Narendra Bhushan
Senior officials in the Department of Land Resources are framing landscape treatment as a dual-purpose policy tool that can strengthen watershed development while also supporting river restoration. The approach, outlined by Secretary Narendra Bhushan, reflects a broader push to align land, water, and ecological planning under a more integrated governance model. Analysts say the emphasis signals a shift from isolated interventions toward basin-scale restoration with measurable environmental and rural development gains.
