“Gomti Gaatha” is an environmental initiative aimed towards cleaning the lifeline of Lucknow
city – the river “Gomti”. As part of this, volunteers of TCS Lucknow visit the bank
(an identified portion) of river Gomti and do extensive cleaning for at least an hour every
month. Thereafter, they collect the garbage and segregate it into biodegradable and
non-biodegradable waste. The biodegradable waste is dumped into a deep pit dug in the
ground and the non-biodegradable waste is collected together at an identified area to
be taken away by the garbage trucks of the Municipal Corporation. While they started
with cleaning as the primary objective, efforts are also being made towards beautifying
the river-bank area by planting trees. TCS volunteers carry organic manure
(generated from our in-house Organic Waste Converter) along with them and spread
it generously along the plants/ trees to make the land more productive. Hence, this
initiative has become much more than a usual cleaning drive and is now a sustained
‘clean & green’ initiative that is sure to provide impactful results in the long run.
