Cleanup Drives

With a vision of a cleaner and healthier India, Karwaan Mission has successfully organized 125 sanitation and cleanup drives across bus stops, parks, and water bodies. This youth-led initiative places community engagement at its core, promoting hygiene and sustainable living.

Through tireless volunteer efforts, Karwaan Mission has transformed neglected public spaces while raising awareness about cleanliness and civic responsibility. The mission aligns with the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and the Sustainable Development Goals, encouraging citizens to be active participants in change.

Karwaan Mission stands as a symbol of unity, action, and environmental consciousness.

To address the worsening condition of Bhalswa Lake and its surrounding environment, the North Delhi Municipal Corporation, under the leadership of Dr. Rashmi Singh, IAS, Additional Commissioner (Health/Veterinary/Horticulture), launched an awareness and cleanliness campaign.

The campaign focused on reducing pollution, managing waste, and engaging multiple stakeholders, including Delhi Tourism, DJB, DDA, PWD, and social organizations such as Yuva Unstoppable and Karwaan Mission, and it began at the Veterinary Hospital, Bhalswa.

Building on this effort, a series of Water Conferences was held with a clear and urgent objective: to improve the water quality of Bhalswa Lake and develop infrastructure for its beautification.

The First Water Conference initiated awareness and cooperation among government departments and civil society.

The Second Water Conference featured Mr. Prateek Kuneja and Colonel Ravindra Gehlawat as key speakers, who discussed actionable plans for the lake’s revival.

The Third Water Conference was honored by the presence of Mr. Dnyaneshwar Mulay, Member of the National Human Rights Commission and the celebrated “Passport Man of India”, who emphasized the ecological and human importance of saving urban water bodies.

As part of its mission to combat pollution and promote environmental sustainability, Karwaan Mission organized a total of 27 cleanliness drives at Bhalswa Lake, aimed at removing plastic waste and other pollutants from the lake and its surroundings.

A notable highlight was the participation of World Champion Boxer Mr. Gaurav Bidhuri, whose presence inspired many. The concerns and condition of the lake were also shared with Shri Manoj Tiwari, Member of Parliament, to seek broader support for long-term restoration.

Through these drives, over 30,000 volunteers, including local citizens, youth groups, and NGOs, contributed selflessly to the cause.

Aligned with the “Single Use Plastic Free” mission, the campaign emphasized community participation, awareness, and sustained action for clean water bodies.

This collective effort demonstrated the power of unity and responsibility towards nature and set a strong example for environmental conservation initiatives across the country.
