New Delhi [India] October 16: The PS Foundation, in collaboration with several community organizations, recently conducted a highly successful beach clean-up drive at Juhu Beach. The initiative was spearheaded by social worker Swikriti Pradeep Sharma, with significant support from Pradeep Sharma, both of whom are devoted to promoting community welfare and environmental sustainability. This event brought together over 300+ participants, including local residents, NGOs, and young volunteers, all aiming to make a meaningful contribution to the preservation of the environment.
Significance of the Clean-Up Drive
This clean-up drive held special importance as it took place shortly after the Navratri festival, during which the immersion of Mata Rani idols had added to the beach’s waste. The event not only focused on removing waste but also served as a platform to raise awareness about the importance of environmental cleanliness. The organizers emphasized the critical need for community-driven efforts in maintaining clean public spaces, especially beaches, which are essential to both the environment and the local economy.
Community Participation and Eco-Friendly Practices
Several organizations, including the RSSR Foundation, With You Foundation, and SMRP Commando, joined hands in this effort, alongside college students, youth groups, and local residents. This collective action not only cleaned the beach but also fostered a spirit of environmental responsibility. Swikriti Pradeep Sharma, who led the initiative, stressed the importance of sustainable practices during the festival season. She, along with Pradeep Sharma, encouraged the use of biodegradable materials, particularly eco-friendly idols, for future celebrations. They also advocated for starting cleanliness initiatives at the household level, reinforcing that change begins at home.
