🌿✨ Swachhata Hi Seva | Swachhotsava | Gandhi Jayanti I Lal Bahadur Shastri Jayanti ✨🌿
On the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi’s and Lal Bahadur Shastri's birth anniversary (2nd October), nearly 150 members of Dorbar Shnong Mawtnum, Ri Bhoi District, in collaboration with Saindur Enviro, Shillong, EKH District, Meghalaya, came together for a village-wide cleaning drive. 🧹💪
The event celebrated Swachhata Hi Seva and Swachhotsava, reflecting Gandhiji’s vision of a clean and healthy society. From children to elders, the participation was inspiring! 🙌
🎤 Dr. Vivek Kumar, Director of Saindur Enviro, applauded the community’s efforts and reminded everyone about the dangers of single-use plastics, which pollute the environment, choke rivers, and remain in soil for thousands of years. He highlighted the MoEFCC ban on single-use plastics and encouraged villagers to adopt eco-friendly compostable alternatives. 🌍♻️
Together, we pledged to continue Gandhiji’s mission —
👉 Keeping our village clean
👉 Reducing plastic waste
👉 Protecting our environment 🌱
💚 A big thank you to the Headman Shri B H Nongmalieh, Secretary, Shri K. Nongmalieh, Executive Committee member, Shri R R Makdoh, and every villager who joined hands to make this initiative a success.
