Awards and Recognition for Our Eco-Restoration Work
We are humbled by these features and awards, but they are truly a tribute to the community members and volunteers who help us protect Gurugram's green cover every single day.
We are honoured to receive the Prithvi Award at the 2024 Global ESG Conference. This win is a tribute to our entire team, our partners, and the volunteers who have supported our 15-year journey.
Our core team members proudly hold the Prithvi Award. This recognition strengthens our resolve to continue our work in ecological restoration and sustainable waste management for a better Gurgaon.

We were featured in English Jagran for our work in transforming how Gurugram deals with waste. Our Dry Waste Collection Units are empowering citizens to build a culture of sustainability.
We are proud to be featured in Civil Society Magazine for our efforts in keeping waste out of landfills in Gurugram. This recognition fuels our commitment to creating a cleaner city.

About Awards & Recognition
These awards are not just for us. They are a nod to the 15 years of hard work by our volunteers and the trust of Gurugram’s citizens who choose to segregate waste rather than dump it. Every plaque and feature is a reminder that when we take ownership of our city, tangible change happens. Whether it is diverting nearly 200,000 kg of waste from landfills or reviving the Badshahpur Forest Corridor, this recognition belongs to the community that makes it possible.
We do not do this work for the accolades, but they serve an important purpose. Recognition in platforms like Civil Society Magazine and the Prithvi Award 2024 helps amplify the message that urban ecological restoration is not only possible but necessary.
Why This Matters
When we stand with officials at the Badshahpur Forest Corridor, it is not about the photo opportunity. It is about proving that a neglected, barren stretch can be transformed into a 5.6 km green lifeline that serves over 20,000 daily users. These awards validate the science-backed methods we use, such as planting native Aravali species and managing waste at the source rather than the landfill.
Our Ongoing Impact
- Landfill Diversion: With over 174,000 kg of dry waste diverted, we are proving that 'kachra' (garbage) is a resource, not waste.
- Community Action: Our units are not just collection points; they are hubs for citizens to learn about recycling, e-waste disposal, and the importance of native biodiversity.
- Policy and Awareness: By working alongside government departments and media outlets, we are shifting the narrative from passive complaining to active participation.
Every piece of recognition we receive is an invitation for more people to join us. Whether you are a corporate team looking for an environmental workshop or a resident wanting to drop off your segregated dry waste, you are the reason this work continues. Let us keep turning these promises into on-ground action.
