Launched with the objective of preserving the spiritual, cultural, and environmental heritage of Lord Krishna&#8217;s land, the campaign has now expanded beyond major pilgrimage destinations to include municipal towns, local markets, and residential areas throughout the district.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative began at <a href=\"https:\/\/mathuranow.in\/hi\/brahmand-ghat-gokul-the-sacred-place-where-mother-yashoda-witnessed-the-universe\/\"><strong>Brahmand Ghat<\/strong><\/a> and has steadily reached several of Braj&#8217;s most important religious locations. Authorities say the campaign is designed not only to improve sanitation but also to encourage citizens and pilgrims to view cleanliness as a form of service to Lord Krishna.<\/p>\n<h2>District Administration Monitoring Progress Daily<\/h2>\n<p>District Magistrate <a href=\"https:\/\/mathuranow.in\/en\/tag\/chandra-prakash-singh\/\"><strong>Chandra Prakash Singh<\/strong><\/a> is personally reviewing the campaign on a daily basis. Detailed progress reports are submitted regularly, enabling the district administration to monitor implementation and issue timely directions wherever required.<\/p>\n<p>Municipal Commissioner <strong>Jag Pravesh<\/strong> is supervising the cleanliness drive across the Mathura-Vrindavan Municipal Corporation area, while administrative officers are inspecting sanitation work within their respective jurisdictions to ensure continuous improvement.<\/p>\n<h2>Major Pilgrimage Centres Included<\/h2>\n<p>The special cleanliness campaign is currently underway in <strong>Kosi Kalan Municipality<\/strong> and the Nagar Panchayats of <strong>Govardhan, Gokul, Barsana, Bajna, Raya, and Nandgaon<\/strong>. Intensive sanitation work is also being carried out at prominent religious destinations, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/mathuranow.in\/hi\/why-govardhan-parikrama-matters-in-adhik-maas\/\"><strong>Shri Giriraj Ji Parikrama Marg<\/strong><\/a>, <strong>Vrindavan Parikrama Marg<\/strong>, <strong>Kokilavan<\/strong>, and several other pilgrimage routes visited by millions of devotees every year.<\/p>\n<p>Officials said the objective is to provide pilgrims with a cleaner, safer, and more pleasant spiritual environment while strengthening Braj&#8217;s reputation as one of India&#8217;s most significant religious tourism destinations.<\/p>\n<h2>Community Participation Continues to Grow<\/h2>\n<p>The campaign has witnessed increasing public participation, with voluntary organisations actively contributing through cleanliness drives and awareness activities. Volunteers from the <strong>Heartfulness<\/strong> organisation have joined the initiative by participating in sanitation work alongside local authorities.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.upbtvp.in\/explore-braj.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Uttar Pradesh Braj Teerth Vikas Parishad<\/strong><\/a> continues to play a key coordinating role by working closely with the district administration and local civic bodies to accelerate implementation across the Braj region.<\/p>\n<h2>Prominent Personalities Join the Movement<\/h2>\n<p>The campaign has also attracted support from several distinguished personalities. Former Chief Executive Officer of the <strong>Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA)<\/strong>, <strong>Arun Veer Singh<\/strong>, recently participated in a cleanliness drive during his visit to Vrindavan. Along with members of the <strong>Ujjwal Braj Foundation<\/strong>, he undertook voluntary cleaning work along the Vrindavan Parikrama route and encouraged pilgrims and residents to contribute towards maintaining a clean Braj.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, <strong>Mukesh Saraswat<\/strong>, Deputy Chairperson of the Mathura-Vrindavan Municipal Corporation, also joined the campaign alongside <strong>Additional Municipal Commissioner C.P. Pathak<\/strong>. Both participated in voluntary cleanliness activities and appealed to citizens, social organisations, and devotees to actively support the mission.<\/p>\n<h2>Vision for a Cleaner Braj<\/h2>\n<p>According to the district administration, maintaining cleanliness in Braj is not solely the responsibility of government agencies but also a shared moral and religious responsibility of every resident and pilgrim. Officials believe that a cleaner Braj will enhance both the spiritual experience of devotees and the region&#8217;s standing as a world-class religious tourism destination.<\/p>\n<p>The strategy for the campaign was finalised last week under the guidance of <strong>Uttar Pradesh Braj Teerth Vikas Parishad Vice Chairman Shailja Kant Mishra<\/strong> and <strong>Divisional Commissioner Nagendra Pratap<\/strong>, in line with the vision of the Chief Minister to transform Braj into a cleaner, greener, and more welcoming pilgrimage region through active public participation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The &#8220;Hum Sabne Thana Hai, Braj Ko Swachh Banana Hai&#8221; campaign is expanding across Mathura and the Braj region, with the district administration, Braj Teerth Vikas Parishad, volunteers, and local bodies joining hands to promote cleanliness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":3712,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2007,813],"tags":[2282,2326,2329,2324,2040,2323,2093,246,2004,2089,213,2325,2328,470,2327],"class_list":["post-3711","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-civic-issues","category-religion-spirituality","tag-administration","tag-barsana","tag-brahmand-ghat","tag-braj-teerth-vikas-parishad","tag-chandra-prakash-singh","tag-clean-braj-campaign","tag-district-administration","tag-gokul","tag-govardhan","tag-mathura-dm","tag-mathura-news","tag-swachh-braj","tag-uttar-pradesh-braj-teerth-vikas-parishad","tag-vrindavan-news","tag-yamuna"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mathuranow.in\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3711","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mathuranow.in\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mathuranow.in\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mathuranow.in\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mathuranow.in\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3711"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mathuranow.in\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3711\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mathuranow.in\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3712"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mathuranow.in\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3711"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mathuranow.in\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3711"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mathuranow.in\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3711"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
