Mayapur Clean & Green
Holy Dham, Holy Habits.
“Mayapur is the spiritual world manifested on Earth. Build your Sambandha by seva and glorification of The Dhama. As the Dhama manifest, so also your seva to it will give you the path back to Godhead”.
– Srila Prabhupada, Back to Godhead.
Our Vision:
To transform Mayapur into a model of environmental purity and sustainability, where clean rivers, green spaces, and a thriving community coexist in harmony, inspiring global efforts in environmental stewardship.

Together, we are shaping a future where nature and culture thrive in harmony”.

CLEAN YOUR HEART Everyday
The solution:
- We want to promote awareness, to educate our community and to provide a cleaning service for all possible areas. For the moment, as a matter of urgency we have started with those areas where the bad practice of accumulating and burning these wastes proliferates, thus in this way we contribute to reducing this cause of air, soil and water pollution in this region.
- We are constantly connecting with and educating the local population about the good reasons why to separate their garbage, to give us their inorganic waste instead of irresponsibly dumping it into the environment, to green and reforest (when possible) the area around their house.
- In the near future we will be able to plant more trees and cultivate grass for the animals in those areas that were previously contaminated by garbage.
- We also help the population to identify elements that are dangerous to health and the environment such as batteries, medicines, mercury lamps, used needles and we teach them the proper way to dispose of them until they reach our hands.
What is the coverage area of our services?
The humble “Mayapur, Clean & Green Team” can afford only 3 workers and 1 supervisor right now. They are currently covering an area of approximately 5 kilometers around Mayapur Dham (Bhaktisiddhanta Road, Taranpur Road, and some River Ghats: Hular Ghat, Taranpur, Ghat, Mayapur Ghat), but still there is much more to clean…
To make a real Impact, we need:
- We need at least 100 full time workers collecting garbage,
- MOST IMPORTANT: MASSIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR the children, who can actually learn new good habits and also teach to their parents.
- We need to put trash cans for dry waste every 50 meters. (at every neighborhood, at every colony, along the road, at the banks of the rivers: Ganga and Jalangi, inside the boats).
- We need to educate the people how to use the trash cans (segregation at source).
- We need to build a suitable deposit and Eco -Center for education and collection of different kinds of waste.
- Find and consolidate spaces to plant trees and sow clean pasture for the cows.
- Ideally we would like to Install a plastic recycling factory (Rs 1 Crore).
Thank you very much for caring and being part.
