Events: Thread Collection Awareness

“Prevention is Better Than Cure” – Manjha Collection Drive

For over a decade, our initiative has been working tirelessly in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar to reduce the dangers posed by harmful kite strings (manjha) during the Uttarayan festival. The drive focuses on awareness, collection, and safe disposal of abandoned threads to protect birds, animals, and humans from injuries and fatalities.

Key Objectives:

  • School Awareness Campaigns: Educating students about the dangers of plastic-coated and glass-laced manjha.
  • Active Participation: Encouraging students to collect unattended manjha after Uttarayan.
  • Saving Lives: Preventing injuries and fatalities among birds, animals, and humans due to stray kite threads.
  • Eco-friendly Waste Disposal: Partnering with Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) for sustainable disposal.

Rewards & Recognition:

  • Students collecting 1 kg or more of manjha receive a certificate of appreciation.
  • Schools collecting 50 kg or more receive the “Pakshi Rakshak School” award/shield.
  • Annual collection reaches 10-15 tons, significantly reducing environmental hazards.

Impact & Sustainability:

  • Instills responsibility and empathy among young students.
  • Encourages safe kite-flying practices for future generations.
  • Helps in waste management and promotes a cleaner, safer environment.

Through this initiative, we aim to make Uttarayan a joyful and responsible celebration, ensuring the safety of all living beings while promoting eco-conscious waste management.
