    The Narmada River is 1,300 km long, making it the 6th longest river in India. It flows through Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh and its basin covers 92,672 sq km. The river basin supports over 11 protected areas and is home to more than 4,000 plant species, 276 bird species, 76 mammal species, and 118 fish species. In 2016, the Namami Devi Narmada Sewa Yatra was launched from Amarkantak to raise awareness about conserving the river by planting trees along its banks, establishing committees in villages to oversee preservation efforts, and treating sewage before discharge into the river.
