🌊 Mission Yamuna: Trash to Transformation ♻️
Mega River Cleanup Drive at Yamuna Ghat
This Sunday, let’s unite for one powerful mission - restoring the lifeline of Delhi. 💚
Join hundreds of passionate volunteers, students, professionals, climate advocates, and changemakers for a large-scale cleanup drive at the Yamuna River. Together, we will take meaningful action against pollution and work towards reviving one of India’s most important rivers.
Organized by Sanskriti Youth Foundation, this initiative is more than just picking up waste - it’s about building awareness, inspiring responsible citizenship, and creating visible environmental impact through collective action.
The Yamuna supports millions of lives, urban biodiversity, and the ecological balance of the capital city. Yet every day, it suffers due to plastic waste, dumping, and neglect. Through this drive, we aim to transform concern into action and show how communities can come together for a cleaner and greener future. 🌱
Whether you are joining alone or bringing your friends, your participation matters.
