GIWA, IHRF and The Ujjain Kumbh Authorities Come Together Towards a Clean, Green and OD-Free Kumbh Mela

February 26, 2016

Up to 100 million people are expected to attend this year’s Ujjain Kumbh Mela, making it perhaps one of the largest in the history of humanity. For it, GIWA India Executive Director and Chair, HH Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji and his team travelled to Ujjain to discuss comprehensive plans towards a clean, green, serene and OD-Free Mela. The meeting was a tremendous success, leading to a follow-up presentation and meeting on WASH with distinguished members of the judiciary, law, and more. Please stay tuned for the launch of our historic upcoming Swachh Revolution campaign, to be held in conjunction with our sister organization, the India Heritage Research Foundation and other highly-valued partners. .
