A city moves forward when its people move together.

From industry leaders and policymakers to mobility champions, voices across sectors are backing MMRDA's #BKCPublicTransportDay initiative to reimagine how Mumbai moves.

Because small shifts in our daily commute can lead to cleaner air, smoother journeys and a better Mumbai.

This Friday, be part of Mumbai's movement. Choose public transport.

नागरिक एकजुटीने पुढे सरकतील, तेव्हाच शहर प्रगतीच्या नव्या उंचीवर पोहोचेल!

मुंबईतील प्रवास अधिक सुलभ, शाश्वत आणि सर्वसमावेशक करण्याच्या उद्देशाने एमएमआरडीएच्या #BKCPublicTransportDay या लोकचळवळीला उद्योगजगत, धोरणनिर्माते आणि वाहतूक क्षेत्रातील तज्ज्ञांकडून पाठिंबा मिळत आहे.

कारण बदलाची सुरुवात मोठ्या निर्णयांनी नव्हे, तर आपल्या दैनंदिन सवयींमधील छोट्या बदलांनी होते. सार्वजनिक वाहतुकीची निवड हा असाच एक छोटासा निर्णय आहे, जो वाहतूक कोंडी कमी करू शकतो, पर्यावरणाचे रक्षण करू शकतो आणि मुंबईला अधिक गतिमान बनवू शकतो.

एक दिवसाचा बदल, उद्याच्या मुंबईचे भविष्य घडवू शकतो. या शुक्रवारी, सार्वजनिक वाहतुकीची निवड करा. मुंबईच्या सकारात्मक परिवर्तनात सहभागी व्हा आणि प्रगतीच्या या प्रवासाचे भागीदार बना.

(3/3)💡Early childhood is shaped as much by people as by the places around them.

Stay tuned to know how these trainings are being conducted across cities in our next post.

#0to5 #ChildFriendlyCities #LivableNeighbourhoods

[WRI India @WRIIndia]

(1/3) 🧡#NurturingNeighbourhoods (NN) has supported 20+ cities in shaping stimulating, vibrant physical environments at early childhood centers.

But these spaces still lack resources to fully support parents.

👇NN is closing this gap by strengthening this human interface.

[WRI India @WRIIndia]

(2/3) How?

✅#EarlyChildhoodDevelopment training with visual stories & real-life examples

✅Frontline worker training on #ResponsiveCaregiving, outdoor play & #ParentalWellbeing

✅Institutionalizing modules to build frontline workers & parents' capacity, activated on-ground

At WRI India, we work with state agencies to identify repowering hotspots and support interventions that can accelerate wind repowering in high-potential regions.

#GlobalWindDay2026 #WindEnergy #EnergyTransition #ClimateAction #RenewableEnergy

[WRI India @WRIIndia]

(1/3) Across India’s wind corridors, including Andhra Pradesh, many wind projects were installed over a decade ago using turbines that are now technologically outdated.

As a result, some of the country’s best wind resources remain underutilised.

[WRI India @WRIIndia]

This #GlobalWindDay we highlight our analysis through the Energy Access Explorer (EAE) which shows how replacing legacy turbines with modern, machines can unlock more energy from the same land footprint while making better use of existing transmission infrastructure.

[WRI India @WRIIndia]

At #ACE2026, researchers, practitioners, policymakers and industry leaders will come together to examine the technical, institutional, financial and material conditions needed to accelerate India's energy transition.
