		In the past, the Bhagirathi known as the Hooghly further downstream was the main stream of the Ganges River.
		It is reported that the Jalangi, like the Bhagirathi, was also once very active navigable waterway forming perennial navigation link between the port of Calcutta and its vast hinterland of Assam and Upper India but has now become a spill channel receiving upland water for only about 3 to 4 months in a year.
		Now the Bhagirathi / Hooghly is not any more a big river, as a result it would not be too expensive to adopt various appropriate engineering measures to control the flow and water depths of this waterway..

		The Board of Trustees of Jal Bhagirathi Foundation has four members, of which two are from Tarun Bharat Sangh, of which Shri Rajender Singh ji as the General Secretary is CEO of Tarun Bharat Sangh and Shri Prithvi Raj Singh ji is Member- Governing Council of Tarun Bharat Sangh.
		However, due to a public awareness camp held in the village by Jal Bhagirathi Foundation, the village realised that till the ground water resources were recharged, the continuous boring of deep wells would deplete the ground water resources and dry the wells.
