I am proud to be a part of this today.” Lecturer N S Rekha stated that the
city can improve and develop with  focus on cleanliness. Mangalore is designated as a prospective smart city, hence our responsibility as its citizens is more in contributing towards its cleanliness. Ramakrishna Mission has done well with sustained efforts in this regard.

The surrounding area was levelled. Umanath Kotekar,  Sachin Kavoor led another team of volunteers who cleared a dump spot  on the road leading towards Kuloor from Gandhinagar. Weeds, overgrown grass

Visit to Pacchanady: About 30 volunteers of Ramakrishna Mission Swacch Mangaluru team visited the Pacchanady Dumping yard and  solid waste management equipment to study the ground reality.
