In March 2019, Pinkishe Foundation achieved a historic milestone by entering the Asia Book of Records for co-organizing the largest cleaning marathon in the country. This record-breaking initiative showcased our strong commitment to environmental sustainability, community engagement, and the shared goal of building a cleaner, greener India.
The cleaning marathon mobilized over 10,000 volunteers from all walks of life—school students, college youth, corporate professionals, and local citizens. This collective force came together with one mission: to promote cleanliness and ecological responsibility through action.
With over 20 tons of waste collected, the marathon demonstrated the potential of united community action in driving large-scale impact for public hygiene and environmental health.
The drive was carried out across several key public locations—parks, marketplaces, roads, and other community spaces—ensuring a wide-reaching impact. Each cleanup site was strategically selected to raise visibility and maximize engagement from the public.
The result? Cleaner public spaces, improved waste management awareness, and stronger bonds among communities working toward a shared cause.
The event received extensive media coverage, including features on major TV news channels, national newspapers, and viral social media posts. This visibility helped spread the message of environmental responsibility far beyond the marathon’s physical reach—amplifying Pinkishe’s commitment to sustainable change.
This remarkable achievement was made possible through dynamic collaborations with local municipalities, corporate sponsors, and other NGOs. The cleaning marathon proved that when people, institutions, and civic bodies join hands, powerful change becomes possible.
Beyond the visible cleanliness, the initiative:
It was not just a clean-up—it was a movement that taught people how their everyday actions affect the planet.
Being featured in the Asia Book of Records is a proud moment for Pinkishe Foundation and a source of inspiration for countless other organizations. It serves as a reminder that sustainable change is possible when vision meets action.
This achievement aligns with Pinkishe’s broader mission of empowering communities—especially women and girls—not just in the field of menstrual equity, but also in environmental consciousness and nation-building.
