This edition explores the initiatives that promote community ownership and participatory management of urban natural resources, emerging practices around “urban commons” and sustainable urban water governance. A brief compendium of the events organized to commemorate the Vayalagam Movement Day alongside World Water Day speaks about the community celebrations and declarations.

A success story detailing the efforts in Visakhapatnam to restore natural springs within the urban landscape highlights the CURE, Vizag moves. The column on the district policy workshop discusses the community efforts in integrating usufructs sharing and endowment in a larger scale. DVTF places its sincere gratitude to all the Vayalagam Movement leaders who play a greater role in materializing the milestone of Vayalagam Movement, the journey of the leader Mr.Vasavalingam is honoured. The Abhisaran 2025, the partners meet at Axis Bank Foundation has once again connected us with the missionaries at large.
