Volunteers cleaned the surroundings of All India Radio campus under the leadership of Vasudev and Capt. Ganesh Karnik. The road leading from AIR to Kadri Park was also cleaned. Weeds and grass that were covering the footpaths and encroaching upon the road near Kadri Park were removed using a JCB excavator.

The bus shelter at Padua wore a ghastly look. Volunteers cleaned the shelter and painted the railings and the bus shelter itself, providing it with a facelift. The direction board near Kadri Park was worn out. It was repainted for the benefit of the public. The milestones indicating distance on the Padua highway was invisible due to wild grass enveloping it. The grass was removed and the board was repainted.

  1. Excellent work! Ramakrishna Mission is doing Swacch Mangaluru Abhiyan continuously. But what MCC is doing?

    • Ramakrishna Mission is doing Swacch Mangaluru Abhiyan continuously. But what MCC is doing?

      MCC will have to wait to receive funds for Swacch Mangaluru Abhiyan from Modi. Modi has begun to collect 1/2% more tax from 15th November, 2015. Even your mobile charges, internet charges and every conceivable taxes are increased for Swacch Bharath. It is no more a “Movement” or “Abhiyan” Now, people have a right to compel Modi to do it, and Modi could no more indulge in high standing on that!

  2. Good Work, leads to greater blessings.

    However, all good works of cleaning and keeping Bharat clean is
    done by volunteer organizations and NGO, FOR FREE!

    Whereas, a few days ago newspapers reported of World Bank
    sanctioning a loan of US$1.2 billion for the Swaach Bharat idea
    of our PM, Modi.

    So it is anybody’s guess who will pocket the money in the name
    of Swaach Bharat!
