To revive the villages and enrich villagers' lives, Isha Outreach launched the Action for Rural Rejuvenation(ARR) programme. The programme included treatment camps, Village themed events titled Gramotsavam, inter-village sports events, the creation of farmer-producer organisations, construction of toilets and imparting the merits of yoga among people.

This programme focuses on saving the rivers of India. Launched in 2017, Numerous public awareness campaigns were conducted to make the public aware of the depleting state of rivers mobilizing millions of people towards the cause. This programme proposes to give an ecological solution with economic benefits. The draft policy of the programme was handed over by the Founder of Isha to the Prime Minister of India at the conclusion of the campaign to give it a formal structure.

With a massive target of planting 242 crore saplings, this movement was initiated to revive a fast-drying Cauvery river, which is considered to be the lifeline of Southern India. It started modestly with a few hundred volunteers sowing around 6 million saplings over a period of twenty-two days in the Velliangiri hills and gained momentum after the 2019 Chennai floods, wherein the programme decided to intensify the plantation of trees along the river in farmlands. More than five crore saplings have been planted in a massive effort by the organisation to mobilise the people.
