Swachhata Special Campaign 6.0 | Celebration of CTUs & Perimeter Wall Drive
Honouring our Swachhata heroes! A celebration of CTUs was carried out inside MIDHANI, with a total of 200 persons participating. On this occasion, all Safai Mitras were felicitated and a high tea was organised in their honour — a heartfelt salute to the hands that keep our plant clean every single day.

Alongside, the campaign continued with a series of impactful activities:

(1) Removal of vegetation and wild bushes alongside the perimeter wall of the MIDHANI plant. A total of 130 participants joined the cleanliness drive, collecting and disposing of approximately 3 tonnes of organic waste, cleaning a total area of 17,000 sq ft and creating valuable space in the process.

(2) 200 kg of e-waste was segregated and is being disposed of responsibly — keeping hazardous waste out of landfills and protecting our environment.

(3) Record management drive — 560 physical files were reviewed and 240 files were weeded out, keeping our records lean, relevant and well-organised.

Respect for our Safai Mitras and relentless action on the ground — that is the true spirit of Swachhata!
