THE AMAZING PEOPLE WITH THE MOTIVE TO CLEAN INDIA,JOIN THEM
THE UGLY INDIAN
The Ugly Indian, an uncategorizable Bangalore-based community organization, has been on my radar for more than a year. They have a fresh approach towards solving the problem of urban cleanliness; an approach that starts with acknowledging that we ("us Indians") have abysmal standards of public hygiene; an internalization that "WE Ugly Indians are part of the problem and only WE can fix it.

"KEEP ROHTANG PASS CLEAN" by Youth Hostels India
Rohtang Pass (el. 13,051 ft (3,978 m)) 51 KM from Manali, is a high mountain pass that connects the Kullu Valley with the Lahaul and Spiti valleys of Himachal Pradesh. India. We had organized our first Trekking Programme in Manali area of Himachal Pradesh in 1970. Since then, we had never looked back and have been organizing programmes in Kullu-Manali regularly. During all these years, we have seen Rohtang Pass getting dirtier and polluted as thousands of tourists visit Rohtang Pass every day in the tourist season. They use their own cars, taxis and other vehicles to go to this Pass to enjoy snow and allied sports. Due to our long association with this region, we feel concerned about the deteriorating environment and pollution at such an important pass.
During MAY 2009, MAY 2010 and MAY, 2011 we have successfully completed the programme wherein our volunteers gave their services which was highly appreciated by the tourists and local administration. Once again as part of the strategy to continue the programme it was decided to organize this year also during the month of MAY 2012.
