Swachh Dombivli Abhiyan

Clean City, green city
11 members
Established April 2020

Overview

Launched under the banner of Vivekanand Seva Mandal, the Swachh Dombivli Abhiyan (SDA) is a citizen-driven environmental movement dedicated to building a cleaner, greener, and more conscious Dombivli. Guided by the ideal of “Seva”, the project blends environmental action, cultural participation, and youth engagement to transform civic responsibility into a people’s movement.
SDA works with a holistic approach that goes beyond one-time cleanliness drives. The initiative nurtures long-term behavioral change by combining:
- Tree Plantation & Conservation for biodiversity restoration
- Eco-awareness in schools & colleges (Paryavaran Shala)
- City-wide awareness campaigns against plastics and waste
- Cultural integration (Paryavaran Dindi, festivals, competitions) to spread eco-values
- Community projects (lake cleanliness, civic engagements, commemorations)
- Recognition & Awards to motivate citizens and volunteers
Through this integrated model, SDA has become a model urban environmental movement, where students, residents, NGOs, housing societies, NCC/NSS units, and civic bodies (KDMC) work hand-in-hand.
