Cleanliness drive in Maharashtra with volunteers sweeping and maintaining a Gandhi memorial

From the archive record

Volunteers take part in a cleanliness drive in Maharashtra, sweeping a paved area and clearing vegetation around a bust of Mahatma Gandhi. Several participants wear white shirts and light-coloured trousers, with some wearing traditional white Gandhi caps. One volunteer is seen cleaning the greenery beside the memorial’s pedestal, while others sweep the surrounding area with brooms. A black metal staircase with a red handrail stands beside the monument. The activity is associated with community cleanliness efforts under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.
