NEW DELHI, INDIA — The Sanatani Ganga Foundation (SGF) is proud to announce the upcoming International Festival of Rivers (IFOR) 2026 Global Conclave, scheduled for May 16, 2026, in New Delhi. This landmark summit will bring together government leaders, environmental scientists, and cultural ambassadors from across the globe to architect a sustainable future for the world’s riverine civilizations.
Rooted in the Indian philosophy of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (The World is One Family), IFOR 2026 is a first-of-its-kind platform integrating Culture, Sustainability, Tourism, and Economic Opportunity. The conclave follows the monumental success of the Gangjyot Marathon & Skating 2026, a 22-day relay where athletes of all backgrounds covered 1,654 KM from Gangotri to Ganga Sagar, demonstrating the power of sports in environmental advocacy.
“IFOR is not just an event, it is a global movement to transition from river exploitation to river rejuvenation.”
Key Highlights of the Conclave:
Looking beyond the 2026 Delhi summit and the subsequent festival in Bihar, IFOR is set to become a traveling global legacy. With a roadmap extending to Sri Lanka in 2027 and across the “Ganga-Mekong” corridor, the initiative aims to build a “Silk Route of Water” that unites nations through shared ecological responsibility.
The Ganga Foundation invites media representatives, policy-makers, and global partners to join this confluence of hope and action.
