Sanitization projects are a crucial emergency for developing countries. Accordingly, honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi announces a 'Swachh Bharat' project to clean and shine India.
The organization is an integral part of the nation and society. Thus, SMVS Swaminarayan Sanstha has emerged to care for such environmental projects alongside humanitarian and spiritual services.
On the 26th of October 2014, HDH Swamishri announced global support for the 'Clean India’ campaign as a part of the upcoming 'Vachnamrut Dwi Shatabdi Mahotsav.' Moreover, He pledged to join this moment being a normal citizen. Thus, SMVS promised to sanitate more than 200 public places in the current year.
Under the campaign, SMVS divided it into ten zones throughout west and central India. In the week of the first phase, we cleaned more than 60 public places.
The utilization and preservation of the environment is a sacred duty of every person in society. The plantation campaign is one of the successful initiatives of the SMVS Swaminarayan Sanstha in environmental protection.
Every year, on the 5th of June, world environment day, SMVS regulates plantation campaigns. Besides this, we formulate a 'Plant Adoption’ project where a planter has to take due care to rear the plant. Under this program, SMVS cared for more than 175,000 plants.
SMVS always plans green belt construction. Thus, our campuses always shine with green bio-diversity to control global warming and pollution.
SMVS always promotes organic farming for natural health. We help farmers with innovation in agricultural practices in an arid atmosphere.
Breeding livestock is a part of the environmental cycle. Under the guidance of Gurudev Bapji, SMVS organizes a breeding program for distributing grass and grain. Moreover, execute a cattle camp and health check-ups for domestic animals.
Rescuing the living being during the drought is a complex situation. However, SMVS comes up with an emotional thought, “once at a par of drought, the human can care for hunger. But what about the starvation of dumb cattle? “Thus, the institute started relief measures for livestock.
The primary purpose of this relief program is to improve the livelihood of rural humankind by protecting livestock. Under this program, SMVS excels in helping during the drought of 2001.
+232175kg grass distribution, +194000kg paddy distribution, +6971 cared cattle, +120 districts of Panchmahal and Banaskantha
As relief work, SMVS operates a ‘Gaushala’ for domestic breeding, where we care for cattle with the latest mechanization. We recycle excreta for natural fertilizers at the cowshed.
During the extreme drought, SMVS tremendously contributes to the scientific breeding of thousands of cattle at camps.
As a part of energy conservation, SMVS utilizes bio-energy, solar light, and green belt construction. We plan a proper use of water and electricity to control unusual use. One such replica of this work is the installation of solar panels at Swaminarayan Dham, Gandhinagar, for electrical apparatus and water heating process. Similarly, SMVS operates solar power at temples and complexes. Thus, these inspirational initiatives encourage society for sustainable use.
