“The thing is that the people here need
to have a civic sense in their minds; a culture
needs to be created where they don't make
a mess. Volunteers come here and always
clean up; keeping this place clean is also our
responsibility”
~Adv. S D Loda, Chairman, Team YMCR
“Whenever the
NGO has some work, when we do a Green
Drive, the slogan of 'Jai Hind' gives us a kind of
energy to do something for the country, when
we shout 'Jai Hind', a kind of passion comes in
us that we are working for the country”
~Keyom Doni, Vice-Chairman, Team YMCR
“...We took
an initiative to do clean ups not only in
water bodies, but also in schools and
offices, roads, wherever we felt the need
to do clean up. I would say that in those
periods of time, so many volunteers
started showing up to our consistent
works.”
~Dr. Mullu Dadda, Convenor, Creative Department,
Team YMCR
“Our Prime Minister Modi ji had called for
a clean India. Taking that as my inspiration, I
thought, why not start something in my own
neighbourhood? Later, the three of us got
together and began our work at our Durga
Temple.”
~Subrata Dutta, Ward Commissioner, Ward no -18,
Nagaon Municipality Board
“...today, we even
have a team called Team 18. All the residents
of the village are part of the team. When
Modi ji spoke about our Team 18 or about our
village, we felt very good. We got a boost of
enthusiasm, and it inspires us to do even more
work.”
~Subhash Das, Businessman, Nagaon
