Morna river in Maharashtra has been at the receiving of waste materials for years until a group of people decided to turn around the fate of the river and save it from dying.

The people of Akola district ignited a mass movement and a cleanup drive to rejuvenate the Morna river.

Enthralled by the enthusiasm and dedication of the people of Akola, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had even lauded their efforts in 40th edition of monthly radio show, Mann Ki Baat, “Mission Clean Morna River is a wonderful initiative, where people came together to clean the river,” the Prime Minister had said.

The Clean Morna Mission was launched in January 2018 and within six months this people’s movement made it to the Golden Book of World Records, an international book of records, for the largest public participation in river cleaning.Click Here: State of Origin Jerseys
