Vindhya Bachao Abhiyan is the flagship campaign of the organization. ProgramsVindhya Bachao AbhiyanVindhya Bachao Abhiyan ({{IPA-hi|viŋd̪ʱyaː batʃaːoː}} English meaning: Save Vindhya Campaign) is the flagship program of VENHF which works towards environmental equity and bringing ecological justice through research-based environmental litigation, strengthening grass-root environmental movements, supporting institution of local governance and protecting the rights of nature dependent indigenous communities.[1] Activities & ProjectsEnvironmental LitigationKanhar DamVindhya Bachao Abhiyan exposed the illegalities in environment clearance and forest clearance surrounding the controversial Kanhar Dam Project in Sonbhadra district, Uttar Pradesh on Kanhar River. The information collected by Vindhya Bachao using Right to Information Act, 2005 was the basis of challenging the construction of the dam.[2][3] Members of Vindhya Bachao and People's Union for Civil Liberties challenged the project in National Green Tribunal, New Delhi.[4][5] The construction of the dam was thereafter stayed by the National Green Tribunal in December, 2014.[6][7][8] The Chief Secretary of Chhattisgarh government in April 2015 took note of the irregularities highlighted by Vindhya Bachao Abhiyan and asked the Uttar Pradesh government to stop the construction until the survey and compensation for the affected villages are completed.[9] The National Green Tribunal passed its final judgement on 7 May 2015 staying any new construction to be undertaken but allowed the construction already underway. The court also formed a high-level committee under chairmanship of Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, Uttar Pradesh to report on the directions issued in the judgment.[10][11][12] The members filed a review petition against the judgment passed by the Tribunal, following which the court gave a direction on 7 July 2015 that This Application is disposed of with an observation that upon filing of the report by High Power Committee; constituted under the Judgment of the Tribunal, the Tribunal will pass further directions after hearing the parties in regard to all matters as mentioned in the Judgment including Environmental Clearance and Forest Clearance.[13] The Tribunal through its order dated 21 September 2015 issued a show cause notice to the Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, Uttar Pradesh for not submitting the report within the deadline.[14] In one of the article published by Vindhya Bachao Abhiyan on its portal in December, 2015 states that the petitioners are unsatisfied with the report submitted by the committee and alleged that the State government is violating the judgment passed by the Tribunal in its 7 May 2015 order.[15] Vindhya Bachao Website has a separate portal Kanhar Dam Resource Page for sharing latest updates on Kanhar Dam case.[16] Mirzapur Thermal Power PlantThe National Green Tribunal, New Delhi quashed the Environmental Clearance granted to the project in its judgment dated 21 December 2016 in a matter filed by Vindhya Bachao members Debadityo Sinha, Shiva Kumar Upadhyaya and Mukesh Kumar.[22] Vindhya Bachao Website has a separate portal Mirzapur Thermal Power Plant Resource Page with extensive information resources on the project, including site visit reports, minutes of MoEF meetings discussing the project, accounts of protests, and documents submitted by Welspun Energy.[23] Ganges River ConservationMembers of Vindhya Bachao along with Bharat Jhunjhunwala and other environmentalists wrote to the Ministry of Water Resources (India), World Bank and other states of India on the ecological and cultural impacts of reviving the National Waterway 1 on river Ganges.[24][25] Wildlife ConservationKaimoor Wildlife SanctuaryVENHF sent a representation to the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change, Government of India on the proposed draft notification declaring 1 km Eco-sensitive zone around the Kaimoor Wildlife Sanctuary. The representation was endorsed by renowned wildlife experts Mike Pandey and Asad Rahmani.[26] Saving the Habitat CampaignVENHF hosts an information portal called Saving the Habitat which shares information on wildlife of Mirzapur. In December, 2014 the organization sent a representation to the Government of India demanding some areas of Mirzapur Forest Division to be declared as Protected areas of India.[27] Environmental Law and AdvocacyIn June, 2015 VENHF reviewed the Draft Notification on Emission Standards for Thermal Power Plants in India and sent a representation to Government of India.[28] In October, 2015 VENHF sent a representation on the Draft Environment Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2015 to Government of India in which it claimed that the bill will dilute the Environment Protection Act, 1986.[29] Networking OrganizationsVENHF is partner of EKOenergy[30][31] and Global Call for Climate Action [32] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://vindhyabachao.org/objective |title=Vindhya Bachao Portal - Objective
