PROJECT PUB

ABOUT PUB

The other important aspect Parivartan considers is to “Save Earth” through PUB i.e. Prithvi Ki Umar Badhao Project, to make people responsible for their acts towards nature and the environment. As part of the Prithvi Ki Umar Badhao (PUB) project, we have been focusing on enhancing the cleanliness of Rivers (Ganga & Ram Ganga), Waste Management & Composting, Tree Plantation and Adoption & Give Up Plastic Campaign in society with the help of communities, Volunteers and students. The emphasis is on developing a just and eco-friendly community that is committed to sustainable development. As part of the initial stage of Parivartan’s existence, we started with our first activity on raising awareness of air pollution among Traffic Police constables on Oct 22, 2016. Since then, we have done a series of activities and launched various campaigns and events under PUB to address environmental issues.

ACTIONS

We all believe doing awareness of any social issues, does change the mindset of society but at a very slow pace, but when this awareness is backed up with a solid action-oriented approach, then you may find the best outcome. In the same manner, Parivartan eventually started developing an approach to provide solutions to such crucial problems. Many events, campaigns and activities have been launched under
