The District Administration Baghpat invites citizens, youth, innovators and institutions from across India on MyGov to share innovative and practical ideas to transform the Shri Parshurameshwar Pura Mahadev Mahashivratri Mela into a Zero Waste Mahotsav on theme “Bhakti Bhi, Prakriti Bhi”.

Building on the successful implementation of a Zero Waste model during Falguni Mahashivratri 2026 celebrations, this initiative aims to further strengthen sustainable practices and develop Baghpat as a model for green and responsible religious gatherings in India.

Aligned with the vision of Mission LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment), Swachh Bharat and sustainable tourism, the initiative promotes environmentally responsible behaviour, reduction of waste, resource efficiency and community participation in large public events.

What kind of ideas are we looking for?
1. Participants are encouraged to submit practical, scalable and innovative ideas in areas such as:
a. Waste management and zero waste systems
b. Plastic-free alternatives for melas and religious events
c. Eco-friendly materials and green infrastructure
d. Awareness campaigns and behavioural change strategies
e. Volunteer and youth engagement models
f. Use of technology (apps, QR-based services, monitoring systems, etc.)
g. Sustainable tourism and visitor management

How to participate?
1. Submit your idea in maximum 200–300 words
2. Focus on solutions that can be practically implemented on ground
3. You may include examples, models or case references

What will happen to your ideas?
Selected ideas will be reviewed by the District Administration and considered for implementation during the Shravani Mahashivratri Mela scheduled in second week of August 2026. Selected contributions may also be recognised as part of a district-led innovation initiative and documented as good practices.

This is an opportunity to contribute to building a national model of sustainable religious events, promote environmental responsibility, and strengthen citizen participation in governance. Your ideas can help demonstrate how tradition, technology and sustainability can work together for a better future.

“Bhakti Bhi, Prakriti Bhi” can be achieved by making the Mahashivratri Mela completely plastic-free using cloth bags, leaf plates, and reusable steel utensils. Color-coded bins, composting of floral waste, and recycling units should be installed. Youth volunteers and QR-based awareness campaigns can encourage visitors to follow eco-friendly practices. Solar lights and water refill stations will further support a clean, sustainable, and zero-waste Mahotsav.

The plates and other stuff should be biodegradable and it would be great if we use plant based things and during the festivals the shopkeepers and stall owners to install bins near their stalls and other then stalls bins should be installed after every 15 to 20 steps . rather then throwing away the flowers that are being offered it should be collected at a single place and then it can be used for creating incense sticks and many more things . Posters and sign around the temple to aware people.
