Bharat Uday Abhiyaan
Clean Yamuna · Strong Delhi
A grassroots Yamuna cleanup movement
We clean the banks of Delhi's Yamuna, one ghat at a time.
Every week, our volunteers clear the plastic, filth, and debris that choke the Yamuna. Track exactly how much is gone — and join the crew on your nearest riverbank.

About the movement
A broom, a bag, and a riverbank that starts to breathe again.
Bharat Uday Abhiyaan began in 2021 with a few neighbours and a stretch of Yamuna bank no one else would touch. Today it is a network of Delhi crews turning civic pride into a weekly habit. We don't own the river — we just make sure it is cleaner than the week before.

Two hours a week, and your ghat looks different.
