SHARED RESPONSIBILITY DRIVE
A STUDENT-LED CLEANLINESS AND COMMUNITY CARE INITIATIVE UNDER VASUDHAIV
IT IS A COMMUNITY-LED INITIATIVE THAT BRINGS CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY INTO EVERYDAY PUBLIC LIFE. THROUGH CLEANLINESS DRIVES, CARE FOR SHARED SPACES, AND DIALOGUE WITH LOCAL RESIDENTS, PARTICIPANTS LEARN HOW PUBLIC PLACES FUNCTION AND WHY COLLECTIVE CARE MATTERS. IT TURNS RESPONSIBILITY INTO A PRACTICAL, PARTICIPATORY, AND LOCAL PRACTICE ROOTED IN SHARED OWNERSHIP AND CONTINUITY.
OUR ACTIVITIES
STUDENTS WALK THROUGH LOCAL AREAS CLEANING AND PICKING WASTE
PARTICIPANTS SHARE EXPERIENCES AND LISTEN TO LOCAL VOICES ON COMMUNITY CARE
STUDENTS COMMIT TO SIMPLE ACTIONS FOR CLEAN AND RESPONSIBLE PUBLIC SPACES
OUR ACTIVITIES TURN CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY INTO COLLECTIVE ACTION — FROM CLEANLINESS DRIVES AND CARE FOR SHARED SPACES TO COMMUNITY DIALOGUE AND LOCAL OWNERSHIP. EACH STEP IS STUDENT-LED, COMMUNITY-ROOTED, AND DESIGNED TO BUILD CONTINUITY AND SHARED CARE
