Launched in July 2019, the "Cauvery Calling" campaign focused on planting trees along the Cauvery river's 0.65-mile wide area to replenish water levels in the river and the groundwater table.
Cauvery Calling was not a narrow tree-planting strip along the river. Isha’s own campaign materials describe it as a basin-wide agroforestry program on farmers’ lands across the Cauvery basin.
Full reasoning
This description appears to confuse Cauvery Calling with an earlier/related river-corridor proposal. Multiple Isha campaign pages describe Cauvery Calling as a basin-wide agroforestry effort, not a plan limited to a 0.65-mile-wide strip along the river.
- Isha’s own campaign materials say the movement aimed to help farmers plant 2.42 billion trees in the Cauvery basin / river basin.
- One official page says the goal is to cover one-third of the Cauvery basin.
- Another says the project is about tree-based agriculture on private agricultural land.
Those descriptions are materially different from saying the campaign focused on planting trees only along a narrow 0.65-mile-wide area beside the river.
So the article’s wording is inaccurate because it misstates the geographic scope and operating model of the campaign.
