One of the prime concerns of NCCL
is to provide an expression to the potential strength of environment to
rejuvenate itself and present it to the people at large as a new dimension of
civil liberty to realize harmonious and sustainable development of nature with
respect to man.
We have followed this
principle in many of our earlier Missions, a visible example of which has come
to be known in Ahmedabad as Mission ENDURE (ENsuring DUst REduction). Through Mission ENDURE, we established a
culture of presenting to people a clean city endowed with good air
quality. It also epitomized our resolve
to bring into play the simple principles that are otherwise shrouded in
ignorance and callousness. More importantly, we strived to restore popular
civil liberty to expect betterment of contemporary life.
On the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti,
another simple principle has been emerging in our minds to develop dilapidated houses on small hillocks in the
vicinity of Shamlaji (Gujarat). These hills
comes both the sides on National Highway No-8 while
driving from Ahmedabad to Udaipur. We recognize that the potential of this plan
may hold the key to a series of eco-development drives in India .
To Support Prime Minister Mr Modi’s initiative of Clean
India, I along with NCCL team, visited beautiful Shamlaji
Hill’s area on 2nd October-2014 and selected 6 dilapidated houses of village Odhapadia. NCCL will reconstruct
these houses and will handover it to the poor residents with toilets and other
amenities in few months time as a part of its small contribution to the Nation. We are hopeful that the
place will turn into a beautiful landscape worthy of emulation and appreciation.
