These drives are organized to create awareness amongst the people about importance of cleanliness. Cleanliness is not social binding, it is rather responsibility of each and every citizen of the country.
On April 27, 2024, the global nonprofit Dr. Shri. Nanasaheb Dharmadhikari Pratishthan (DSNDP) organised a mega drive titled 'Earth Day—Every Day with DSNDP.' The event drew over 300 DSNDP volunteers from 29 states across the United States, as well as from Mexico, Canada, and India. These volunteers simultaneously served 21 iconic locations across New York City's Manhattan and Brooklyn, as well as in New Jersey's Middlesex, Union, and Somerset Counties.
Under the guidance of founder Dr. Shri Appasaheb Dharmadhikari and the leadership of founder Dr. Shri Sachindada Dharmadhikari, DSNDP volunteers dedicated 900 volunteer hours of cleanliness and tree conservation efforts, collectively collecting 258 bags of trash, totaling approximately 4,000 pounds.
Two high-visibility 100 ft x 100 ft billboards at the iconic Times Square aired DSNPS’s video worldwide and a video exemplifying DSNDP’s grassroots community service across the country and the world was also broadcasted 360 times on loop on a 50 ft x 20 ft billboard throughout the event day.
