Avaada Group’s nationwide clean energy awareness campaign, ‘Avaada Bharat Uday Yatra’, reached Navi Mumbai and Mumbai this week, engaging citizens and local communities in discussions on renewable energy adoption, sustainability and climate-conscious living.
Custom van travelled 1,598 km across four states since May 8
The custom-designed awareness van, flagged off from Noida on May 8, has travelled nearly 1,598 kilometres across four states — Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra — as part of the company’s mission to strengthen grassroots awareness around renewable energy and sustainable practices.
The Yatra first arrived in Vashi in Navi Mumbai before moving to Andheri in Mumbai, where it witnessed enthusiastic participation from residents through public outreach activities, interactive sessions and cultural performances focused on clean energy awareness.
Initiative aims to make clean energy accessible to citizens
According to the company, the initiative aims to make renewable energy more accessible and understandable for citizens while encouraging greater public participation in India’s energy transition journey.
Speaking about the campaign, Vineet Mittal, Chairman of Avaada Group, said India’s clean energy transition had become both an environmental and strategic necessity.
Geopolitical uncertainty makes self-reliance imperative, he says
“At a time when geopolitical uncertainties and disruptions in global fossil fuel supply chains continue to impact energy markets, India’s transition to clean energy is not just an environmental priority but a strategic imperative for energy security and self-reliance,” Mittal said.
“India stands at a defining moment in this journey, and the next phase must be driven by citizen participation. Through Avaada Bharat Uday Yatra, we aim to make clean energy more accessible, relatable and actionable — transforming awareness into a nationwide movement,” he added.
Street plays, myth-busting sessions and Digital Green Pledge held
During its halt in Navi Mumbai and Mumbai, the Yatra organised several awareness activities, including nukkad nataks (street plays), myth-busting sessions on renewable energy misconceptions and a Digital Green Pledge campaign encouraging citizens to adopt sustainable practices in their daily lives.
The company said the campaign received strong community participation and helped promote conversations around energy efficiency, sustainability and community-led climate action.
Yatra to continue to Pune as part of nationwide tour
Following its Mumbai and Navi Mumbai outreach, the Yatra is scheduled to continue its journey to Pune as part of its broader nationwide campaign.
As part of the initiative, two specially designed vans are travelling across nine states and 27 cities over 35 days to spread awareness about sustainability and clean energy adoption.
