Bin it

As part of our Clean India, Green India initiative, we installed two garbage bins in Jawal village.

One in the chowk  area and the other near the temple. Villagers are happy to have this. They have started using these bins.

 

Knowledge about garbage collection and disposal formed the part of the awareness program.  Thus inspired all the residents of Javal village and help them to take the responsibility.

Our Rural Development team helped in installing the bins. And creating awareness on the same. 

Clean India Programme

Gearing up for the inauguration of Anand Kendra, on the eve of Guruji’s Aradhana Day, our Gurukulam students and residents decided to clean the Katarkhadak village. The activity brought the students closer to nature and they basked in the  satisfaction of making a positive difference in their immediate environs. Feeling for nature in general and trees in particular is an opportunity our Gurukulam kids rarely miss.

We inspired our Gurukulam students to contribute their bit towards Clean India Campaign. An endeavor to help our students experience Godliness.

Greener India

The joy of parenting a sapling is indescribable. Planting trees brings happiness as we all like to nurture nature. Every monsoon, we plant indigenous trees to restore greenery and make a contribution towards sustainable development. We planted thousands of plants in the Mulshi taluka promoting our project of making India cleaner and greener.

Rishi Samskruthi Vidya Kendra has been conducting awareness among the villagers to refrain from cutting down trees and encourage planting and nurturing of trees.

Swatchh Bharat abhiyaan

Mahatma Gandhiji’s message to all of us is – ‘ Swatchhta is a seva’. On occasion of his birthday, our Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modiji declared ‘Swatchh Bharat Abhiyan’.

RSVK is also continuously working towards ‘Clean India Green India’. Taking this opportunity, we inspired action in the rural India.

Greenery at Gurukulam

Clean Katarkhadak

When beautiful people come together, beautiful things happen.’ One such experience was the coming together of the city children, the Gurukulam family and the villagers. The collective energy was thus directed towards creating, maintaining and recreating clean environs. On the festive occasion of Holi, before the Holi fire is lit, everyone got together to make the surroundings plastic- free. We envisioned a clean Katakhadak village and worked towards manifesting it.

Clean India

‘Be the change you wish to see in the world.’  Practically implementing this, the Cleanliness Drive taken up by us , aims at motivating the villagers to adopt cleanliness as a way of life. By walking the talk, the Rishi Gurukulam students, teachers, staff and workers themselves keep inspiring the villagers. The village children, students and grown ups are  encouraged to participate in these activities so that later on they maintain cleanliness of their own accord.

RSVK: Rishi Samskruti Vidya Kendra has adopted twelve villages around and cleaning is a major project taken up by us. SSY program is conducted for all the villagers and village students. This is a step towards Clean India Green India!

Street play on cleanliness

The reward of cleanliness is cleanliness itself. This thought echoed very loud and clear in a creative attempt made by the students of Gurukulam. It drove home the point that when aware individuals come together to make a difference, the result is there for the whole world to see! 

 The students proved that the dream of ‘Clean India’ can take the shape of physical reality with the help of dedicated efforts of a committed group.  Self inspired, the students of the Gurukulam took collective responsibility to raise consciousness of one and all through a Marathi musical street play.
