About Us
The Forward Foundation was started by a group of like-minded individuals who wanted to bring about holistic transformation through active citizen engagement. Spearheading this movement was Late Sri. Ramesh Sivaram, who became the goto person especially when it came to Water and Lake Rejuvination work in Bengaluru. An Environmental engineer by training, Ramesh ji had a brilliant mind and was instrumental in starting the trend of neighbourhood citizen groups across Bengaluru that took responsibility for water-bodies and civic work in their locality. Ramesh ji left for his heavenly abode on January 26, 2020, but his work and personality continue to inspire our initiatives.
