IndiaThe Hindu Dharma Parirakshana Trust (HDPT) has requested the Indian Central government to provide funding for the conservation of the Gundlakamma river under the National River Conservation Plan (NRCP). The proposed initiative includes a 280-km afforestation program along the riverbanks, an anti-encroachment campaign, and a boundary survey.

The trust highlighted the river's role in providing irrigation and drinking water, particularly in fluoride-prone areas, and aims to raise environmental awareness through specialized programs targeting youth and the public.
