The event, held in various parts of Ludhiana, highlighted the importance of maintaining clean public spaces and the impact that grassroots efforts can have on urban environments. The students, supported by Centum Foundation, eagerly joined Decathlon’s employees and local volunteers, showcasing the power of collective action. Through hands-on engagement, they helped clear trash from streets, parks, and other public areas, raising awareness of waste management and pollution reduction.
More than just a clean-up, this initiative aimed to inspire the next generation. Educational sessions were organized, providing students with insights into responsible waste disposal, recycling practices, and how small changes can contribute to large-scale environmental improvement. This experience equipped them with the knowledge and tools to become active stewards of the environment, encouraging them to continue these practices in their daily lives.
Decathlon’s leadership in this event was pivotal, as their vision to promote a healthier planet brought together diverse groups, including students from Centum Foundation’s programs, to make a tangible impact. The collaboration emphasized the importance of sustained efforts in environmental conservation, and it served as a testament to what can be achieved when organizations unite for a common cause.
Together, we continue to build a culture of responsibility and care for the planet, ensuring that today’s actions lead to a greener tomorrow. World Clean-up Day 2024 was not just an event but a step toward inspiring lasting change in Ludhiana and beyond.
