CII Mysuru clean up drive today to mark World Environment Day
Mysuru: The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Mysuru chapter, in collaboration with Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) and Young Indians (Yi), will lead a clean-up drive on Saturday to mark World Environment Day . Under the theme Namma Mysuru, Swachha Mysuru, the initiative aims to promote sustainability, restore ecosystems, and highlight the urgent issue of plastic pollution across India. The clean-up will be conducted from 7am to 9am along the Mysuru Ring Road, followed by an awareness session at Maharaja's College Grounds from 10am to 10.30am. The session will gather environmentalists, educators, industry leaders, and students to discuss sustainable urban practices. A post-session breakfast will offer space for networking and reflection. India produces over 3 million tonnes of plastic waste annually, much of it unmanaged and polluting public spaces. Despite Mysuru's reputation for cleanliness, rapid urbanisation continues to strain waste systems. This campaign goes beyond cleaning—it aims to reshape public behaviour on consumption and disposal. The initiative seeks lasting impact by embedding sustainability into daily life. The session will address reducing single-use plastics, encouraging recycling, and advocating for policies supporting a circular economy. CII Mysuru encourages joint action between industry, academia, and civil society. CII Mysuru invited institutions, industry bodies, NGOs, and citizens to participate and commit to sustainable practices.

Aligned with India's climate goals under the Paris Agreement and SDGs, the drive highlights the need for local ecological balance amid climate impacts on health, agriculture, and weather. Mysuru, with its ecological legacy, plays a vital role in local climate action, it added. Environmental change starts with a collective effort.

CII Mysuru has invited institutions, industry bodies, NGOs, and citizens to participate and commit to sustainable practices. Volunteers will be provided with safety guidelines and clean-up tools. All waste will be properly segregated and recycled, the organisers said. For details, participants can contact Kiran M.K. on 9844785965 or email kiran.m.k@
