SHIVA GANGA CLEANING TRUST

What We Believe

Our Mission is to clean Rishikesh

Cleaning up with love

Respecting the Gods

Keeping Rishikesh beautiful

Giving Rishikesh its beauty back

Plastic bottles, packets, cigarette butts… they don’t belong in Ganga or on the streets. Every time we bend down and pick up one, it’s like giving Rishikesh a little hug — small, but full of love. We know we can’t clean everything in one day, but if each of us does a little, every day, the whole city starts to breathe again.

It’s not about perfection; it’s about care. About saying, “Hey, this place matters.” Because it does — for us, for the river, and for everyone who comes here to find peace.

Don't trash your Gods!

Sounds funny, but it’s true — throwing waste in the river is like throwing waste at the very gods we pray to. Locals, visitors, sadhus, yogis — everyone has a role to play.

If each person just thinks twice before tossing something, Maa Ganga will stay as divine as she deserves to be.

Keeping Rishikesh Lovely for All

Rishikesh is not just a city; it’s a feeling — of peace, yoga, music, and mountains. But let’s be honest, it’s hard to feel spiritual when you’re stepping over plastic cups.

A clean city means locals living happily, and tourists going home saying, “Wow, I can’t wait to come back!”

Our actions to keep Rishikesh and Ganga clean

Cleaning, Caring, and Creating Change

Our trust is taking practical steps to keep Rishikesh and Ganga Maa clean.

We are increasing the number of dustbins in key areas so people can easily throw their waste in the right place instead of on the ground or in the river.

We organize awareness campaigns to explain how litter harms not only Maa Ganga, but also animals, nature, and even the local economy.

Our team and volunteers regularly clean the ghats, streets, and riverbanks — doing the real ground work that makes a visible difference

Step by step, we’re building a cleaner, kinder Rishikesh where everyone can live, visit, and breathe a little better.
