Neil Island Project Launch

To launch our project in Neil island, we organized a plogging activity - a cleaning drive across the island. The activity witnessed wide participation from local school students, the Panchayat, Boat Association, Police, Hotel Association, MakeMyTrip Foundation volunteers, etc. We split into teams and cleaned different parts of the island. Over a span of 2 hours, together we collected over 500 kg of waste!

Blind-Friendly Railway Stations

We successfully inaugurated our project with Anuprayaas Solutions for making the Dehradun and Chandigarh railway stations blind friendly! These stations have been installed with indicative as well as general signages that will help the visually impaired (VI) travelers to locate the platforms, waiting room, restrooms, etc. A tactile map has also been installed that covers the entire layout of the station in braille. All these installations aim to minimize the dependency of the VI travelers and empower them to travel – in line with our organization’s goal of making travel accessible by all! #accessibletravel

Sahastradhara Inaugural Event

We conducted an inaugural event at the Sahastradhara falls, Dehradun, to mark the beginning of our partnership with Waste Warriors, along with all the other key stakeholders such the as Sub-District Magistrate, the District Tourism Officer, representatives from the Irrigation Dept., etc. The local shop-owners situated in the area also attended the event and committed to work towards waste management and undertake responsible methods of waste disposal. Waste Warriors installed 50 dustbins and awareness signages in the area. As next steps, they will undertake door-to-door awareness sessions to sensitize people.
