Cleanliness drive in Dublin!

A nationwide cleanup drive dedicated to the Birth Centennial of Dr. Shri Nanasaheb Dharmadhikari in Alameda County.

Alameda County, Dublin , CA - A nationwide cleanup drive dedicated to the Birth Centennial of Dr. Shri Nanasaheb Dharmadhikari was undertaken by residents and volunteers of the non-profit organization Dr. Shri Nanasaheb Dharmadhikari Pratishthan (DSNDP) at 4201 Central Pkwy, Dublin, CA 94568 on January 20, 2024. These events were organized by DSNDP in collaboration with the City of Dublin (COD). ‘People of the Parks’ program is part of a year-long Nationwide Cleanup Drive undertaken by DSNDP across 17 states and 51 cities in the United States.

COD’s People of the Parks Program is a partnership between the COD and DSNDP volunteers, working together to make Alameda County better, a mile at a time. More than just a cleanup campaign, this innovative program works to educate citizens of all ages about the responsibilities of land stewardship-the care and repair of our environment.

The drive was scheduled and held very close with New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, New York and Texas and will be followed by other states. DSNDP has collaborated with 17 states-51 cities for running these cleanup drives across the United States.
