Prayagraj hosted more than 60 crore pilgrims and visitors over a span of 45 days during the Maha Kumbh, an event that is fundamentally a manifestation of a profound and deep-seated river-society relationship.
TREADS is an initiative at the Centre for Policy Research with research interests on water policy and governance, focusing on transboundary waters and ecologies (specialising in interstate river water conflicts and cooperation) with allied interests in federalism, politics of infrastructure development (Dams, Smart Cities, Rural Roads), and urban water security.
A curated repository of resources relating to the areas of research pursued by TREADS.
TREADS is located firmly in India’s national and subnational institutional ecosystem for water governance, grounded within the expanse of South Asia.
