The organisation has rejuvenated and revived 11 rivers in the state of Rajasthan naming, Ruparel, Sarsa, Arvari, Bhagani, Jahajwali, Shabi, and has established about 11,800 johads. Presently, Tarun Bharat Sangh’s focus rests upon access to water by rejuvenation of water resources, tackling issues like human and wildlife conflicts, and combating the mining mafias for the benefit of the local community located there. It continues its exemplary work like Rashtriya Jal Biradari which works towards organising local communities in villages across India to work on water and focuses on “save the river campaign.

Dr. Rajendra Singh mentors a national collective of water-related organisations, called the Rashtriya Jal Biradari, which has worked on rejuvenating more than 100 rivers in India, resulting in 12 rivers becoming perennial. It has a presence in several states, including Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Telangana, and Uttar Pradesh, and trained people working all over the country. As expressed by Dr. Rajendra Singh, “The Rashtriya Jal Biradari is not an organisation; it’s a forum, formed by the community. It will remain operational as long as the community wants it…Rejuvenation work however, is sanatan, eternal.”
