Plastic-Free Ayodhya Campaign: Preserving Sacred Heritage & Protecting the Environment
Help Safety and Care Foundation has launched an extensive community campaign to eliminate single-use plastics across Ayodhya, distributing eco-friendly bags to pilgrims and local vendors.

Protecting Our Sacred City: The Plastic-Free Ayodhya Mission

Ayodhya, the sacred city of Lord Ram, welcomes millions of devotees and pilgrims each month. With this immense influx of visitors comes a pressing environmental challenge: plastic waste accumulation.

To address this critical issue, Help Safety and Care Foundation has spearheaded the 'Plastic-Free Ayodhya' movement across key pilgrim corridors, Saryu Ghats, and surrounding market complexes.

Key Objectives of the Drive:

  • Distribution of Eco-Friendly Cloth Bags: Over 25,000 reusable cotton and jute bags distributed free of cost to local vendors, shops, and pilgrims.
  • Saryu River Cleanliness Drives: Weekly volunteer clean-up drives along the sacred Saryu riverbanks to prevent non-biodegradable plastics from entering the water ecosystem.
  • Awareness & Merchant Engagement: Partnering with temple trusts, dharmshalas, and merchant associations to eliminate single-use carry bags and thermocol tableware.
  • "Keeping our sacred pilgrimage sites clean and green is a duty we owe to nature and future generations. Every small piece of plastic avoided is a blessing preserved."Ved Vyas Pandey, President

    How You Can Support:

    Join our volunteer team on weekend cleanup drives or sponsor eco-friendly bag distribution packs. Together, we can make Ayodhya a shining model of cleanliness, sustainability, and divine beauty.
