Impact Stories

In a concerted effort to combat plastic pollution and promote ecological sustainability, the Udayani Social Action Forum successfully organized an impactful Anti-Plastic Campaign throughout the Bishnupur block.

The campaign, meticulously designed to engage communities, employed a multifaceted approach, including rallies, slogans, posters, banners, speeches, door-to-door campaigns, and role-playing activities.

Recognizing the power of collective action, the Udayani Social Action Forum aimed to connect with a broad audience simultaneously, ensuring that the message reached every nook and corner of the community.
