I have been witness to this Abhiyan since it commenced and I reiterate for the fact that the zeal since then has grown hundredfold. Many blackspots in the city have been converted into beautiful spots and deter public from littering there. Mangalore City Corporation (MCC)  is also joining hands with the RK  and this will go a long way to make Mangalore a model city. I urge all the public to support this initiative."  Captain Ganesh Karnik welcomed all the volunteers. Swami Ekagamyanandaji, convener delegated the various activity spots to all the volunteer leaders.  Aniruddh Nayak, Mohan Kottary, Pravin Shetty, Uma Prasad Kadekar, Smitha Shenoy and many other volunteer leads attended on the occasion.

Cleanliness Work by 6 teams:
Cleanliness work was taken up in Central Warehouse junction and the 4 road leading to it. The students of Nitte Physiotherapy College under the guidance of principal Dr Dhanesh Kumar cleaned the Lokayya Shetty Road and  roadsides leading towards Mannagudda.  NSS Students of GFGC, Kavoor,  under the guidance of lecturers Rekha S N and  Mohini cleaned the  warehouse roads. Students of St. Aloysius Evening College under the guidance of lecturer Kishore Chandra cleaned the road leading from Mannagudda to Lalbagh. Senior volunteers of the Abhiyan cleaned the drains and footpaths near warehouse circle. Preetham Mugil, Vikhyath and  volunteers removed the heaps of sand and stones lying by the roadside by using JCB tippers. The neglected and dilapidated bus shelter was also thoroughly cleaned and painted giving it a facelift. Umanath Kotekar, coordinator coordinated the work.

Shramadan in Service Bus Stand: To complete the cleaning and renovation work started 2 weeks ago, this week too volunteers did shramadan in the service bus stand. Students of SVS College, Bantwala cleaned and painted the pillars in the bus stand and beautified them. Uday K P, Kiran Fernandes guided the volunteers. Till date 100 lts of paint have been used and 40 seats have been fixed, garbage bins and flower pots have been placed in the area to give an aesthetic look. Due to daily awareness drives in the area by volunteers, the black spots that were converted have
continued to remain litter free zones. Sudhir Noronha, Punith Poojari, Jagan Kodikal, Satish and others worked round the clock in the last one week to ensure this.

Swacch Soch – Seminars in 16 colleges: As a part of the ongoing Swacchata Abhiyan, Swacch  Soch Seminars were organized in different colleges in and outside Mangalore.
