Founder Dharmesh Barai said, “We all carry a small responsibility toward our environment. Just as we care for our homes, we must care for our surroundings. Because if India is clean, India will be healthy. This week, our mangrove soldiers once again stepped forward to clean the coastline. Every volunteer’s effort matters. When the coastline is clean, it safeguards millions of lives — marine biodiversity, birds, and the communities that depend on these ecosystems.”
