Gaya ji, city of heritage and sacred pathways, is battling rising air pollution. Our #SUMC partner Blessings hosted a City-Level Dialogue to address urgent mobility issues: rising vehicle emissions, limited clean transport, poor roads, and encroachment. #haritsafar #cleanmobility

Young people in Patna are stepping up for clean air and safer streets. Ending the year with such active youth participation reminds us why climate action in tier 2–3 cities matters deeply, and why it continues to give us hope. #Haritsafar #ClimateAction #YouthLead

Lokesh ji’s core message at the Buniyaad convening: Training empowers only when it protects livelihoods, not disrupts them. A worker-centric skill curriculum, shaped by states’ diverse realities, is the only just transition!

During Buniyaad convening in Lucknow, Mr. Ratan Srivastava reminded us that brick kiln owners are more than “polluters.” They are citizens, parents and employers who want a cleaner future and are ready to adopt better technology if support and systems are truly accessible!
