Pro Kabaddi League team Dabang Delhi today joined hands with not-for-profit organisation Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) India for an initiative 'Click2Clean', a campaign that aims at cleaning up unclean and littered public places in cities, through collective action by citizens, government and the private sector.
The community-driven initiative is being launched in Delhi and NCR (Gurgaon, Noida, Faridabad, Ghaziabad) today and will later cover other cities across the country.
As part of the tie-up, Dabang Delhi skipper Ravinder Pahal, along with teammates Amit Chillar and Kashiling Adake among others, will be participating in this campaign to help create public awareness on sanitation.
Speaking on their tie-up, Dabang Delhi Kabaddi team owner Radha Kapoor said, "Dabang Delhi is committed to positive social change as part of DoIT Sports Management's socially responsible objectives. As a step in that direction we are pleased to associate with Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) India's 'Click2Clean' campaign.
"Dabang Delhi strongly believes hygiene and sanitation are major contributors to a healthy living and this campaign fulfills our objective of reaching out to the society, specifically educate the youth, about keeping the environment clean. We endorse the 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan' and strongly believe that just like sports, healthy habits, need to be practiced and made a way of life," she said.
Through the Click2Clean campaign, citizens of Delhi NCR will click and upload 'unclean' and littered public spaces, after which a screening committee will select 100 sites from all the images it receives and ensure the sites are litter-free within a given timeframe.
The association is part of Dabang Delhi's socially responsible initiatives and aims at raising public awareness to cultivate civic sense in communities and welcome citizen participation. The objective is also to encourage the Indian youth to actively and consciously assure a clean environment, not just for self but for the community as well.
