The day also featured awareness activities centered on the principles of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, promoting sustainable waste management practices.
The campaign culminated on 23rd September with the Clean Green Utsav, featuring eco-friendly and zero-waste celebrations alongside extensive cleaning drives in rural and urban areas. These efforts underscored the importance of environmental stewardship and community participation in creating a cleaner, greener India.
