NASSCOM and iridium's pledge for a Clean Delhi!!


NASSCOM Foundation in India partnered with Let’s Do It Delhi to help clean up Bhikaji Cama Place in Southwest Delhi, India on 20th March, 2010 at 7:30 in the morning. The small but inspired NF team comprised of 31 volunteers from various Indian companies like Newgen Software, WNS, iridium Interactive, MphasiS and Students’ Partnership Worldwide – India Project Trust. The enthusiastic iridium team- Manish, Sinchita, Janhavi and Nitu, along with the NF team took up to cleaning one of the many lanes at the Bhikaji cama complex. While cleaning, what came as a shock for the team was that the maximum garbage comprised of pan masala and gutkha packets – all of which are plastic and hence is non-biodegradable. Most people in the metros have the habit of littering after they have used the contents of the packet. What we don’t realize is that this garbage adds to the city’s dirt dump. Would we do it in our house??? I’m sure each one of us would say NO. When you wouldn’t dirty your own house with garbage, why do it to your city. After all, it is home to many people who do not have a house to live in. The open city space is their home.

This cleanliness drive has enthused us iridiumiites and we, right now,  right here pledge to keep our city clean and also create awareness amongst people in our own big or small way and make our cities a heaven to live in. Spread the word and let more people join in!!!!
