Pune recycles 37% of its plastic waste—3 times the national average! This is a milestone we should all be proud of. Let’s push that number higher with a #MindfulDisposalPlan. Here’s a simple checklist to help you reduce plastic pollution and amplify the impact of #wastepickers

Not just our children but we did it too! Every day, after collecting waste from doorsteps & taking care of families, we opened our books. We went back to school, we studied hard, and we cleared the SSC exam. Cause learning doesn't come with an expiry date!
