Neerurav, a joint venture project of Haritha Keralam Mission and Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, targets soil conservation activities in specific watershed areas by formulating a master plan through research and planning activities by ensuring large-scale participation of local people.

Pioneered by the positive results of soil &water conservation activities of Neerurav project initiated at Chullalam watershed area of Pullampara Grama panchayat of Thiruvananthapuram district, it has been decided to extend this project statewide. The project aims to creatively utilize the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme for environmental restoration and climate resilient disaster management initiatives, and also simultaneously devise scientific interventions to conserve basic natural resources such as soil, water and biodiversity. The watershed plans prepared as a part of Haritha Keralam Mission initiatives in all the local self-government bodies of the state will be revised comprehensively and simultaneously in accordance with the project guidelines and the activities of this project.
