What happens when tradition meets technology? In this powerful TEDx talk, the speaker explores the sacred River Ganga—not only as a symbol of faith, economy, and culture—but also as a river on the brink. With over 660 million pilgrims projected to visit during the Kumbh Mela 2025, the Ganga is drowning in devotion…and pollution.But there is hope. From AI-powered boats to real-time pollution tracking, this talk reveals how artificial intelligence can help reclaim the purity of one of the world’s oldest rivers. A compelling call for innovation, action, and accountability—because the Ganga isn’t just a river. It’s India.#AIForGanga #SaveOurRivers #TechForGood #Kumbhmela #2025 #GangaLife #technology #thengpschool Harshitha Vidhyasekar is an articulate and passionate student who brings energy, creativity, and clarity to every space she steps into.
