Why this morning matters

Visarjan is beautiful. What it leaves behind isn't the river's fault. It's ours.

Every year, immersion fills the Mutha at Deccan with idol debris and offerings. Two days after visarjan, we come back together: corporate teams, students and Pune families, giving the river bank its dignity back. Not a protest. A thank you.

POP idol debris
Flowers & nirmalya
Cloth & garments
Thermocol & decor
Plastic & offerings
Three communities, one river

This one takes all of Pune, and everyone belongs on the bank.

Corporate partners

Bring your CSR team to the field for a morning of real, measurable impact, with a group photo your people will remember.

College students

Rally your campus, earn a certificate and volunteering hours, and start a river-guardian chapter that outlasts the day.

Citizens & families

Come as you are, with kids, neighbours or on your own. If you love this city's river, there's a bag with your name on it.

Get directions

Reserve your spot on the bank

Takes a minute. You'll get a confirmation with the meeting point and everything you need.

By registering you agree to follow on-ground safety guidance. Minors are welcome with a guardian.

The river needs a crowd. Bring one.

A clean-up is only as strong as the hands on the bank. Share this with your team, your class, your building group.

Good questions, quick answers

Is it free? Do I need experience?
Completely free, and no experience needed. We brief everyone on the morning and hand you everything you need.
Can I bring my kids?
Yes, families are welcome. Children must stay with a guardian at all times, and we'll keep them to the safer bank areas.
Is it safe to handle the debris?
We provide gloves and grabbers, run a safety briefing, and keep first-aid on site. You'll never handle anything hazardous bare-handed.
Do students get a certificate / hours?
Yes. Every registered volunteer gets a certificate of participation, and we're happy to confirm volunteering hours for colleges.
What if it rains?
Light rain, we go ahead (it's a river!). If it's unsafe, we'll message everyone who registered with the new plan.

See you on the river, 27 September.
