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.
