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.

महाशिवरात्रि हमारे देश का एक बड़ा धार्मिक त्योहार है। धार्मिक मेलों में पर्यावरण के अनुकूल उत्पादों का उपयोग किया जाना चाहिए। मेरी राय में भंडारे के लिए केले का पत्ता सबसे अच्छा विकल्प है।यह जैव अपघटनीय प्रकृति का है।प्लास्टिक उत्पादों के स्थान पर सेकेंड हैंड निर्मित उत्पादों का उपयोग किया जाएगा। तीसरा बिंदु यह है कि अन्य चीजों के स्थान पर श्रद्धालुओं के लिए अलग-अलग प्रकार की कुटियाएँ बनाई जाएंगी।

By combining traditional, biodegradable alternatives with modern QR-based financial incentives and youth energy, this model creates a self-sustaining ecosystem that changes public behavior on-ground without disrupting the spiritual essence of the mela

Turn devotion into action with a "Punya Recycle" system: give fast-track Darshan coupons to pilgrims who bring empty containers to designated digital collection booths. Replace all single-use plastics with leaf plates (Pattals) and local clay Kullhads. Finally, transform temple floral waste directly into organic incense sticks branded as "Shiva Prasad," creating eco-friendly livelihoods for local women groups. Tradition and sustainability can march together cleanly!

This version feels complete and practical. It beautifully connects devotion, livelihood, youth participation, and simple technology into one self-sustaining model. I like how it turns cleanliness into seva for Lord Shiva while creating real impact through SHGs, Punya Tokens, and the Trishul symbol. It’s not just an idea — it can become a replicable national model for green religious events.

Greetings to our honourable prime minister sir this is a great way of celebrating Mahashivratri but we can just do and follow a things that will actually make this festival zero waste have you seen Gurudwara they use metal utensils and clean it by themselves and serve in it again so we should avoid single use plastic we can arrange routine of cleaning the Mandir premises before entering inside it and we can just attach Mirrors on the walls so the bhakts can see themselves and wait patiently

महाशिवरात्रि सनातन धर्म का एक प्राचीन त्योहार है। इस अवसर पर मेले का आयोजन किया जाता है। मैं कुछ सुझाव देना चाहता हूँ। 1 मेले के क्षेत्र में सामाजिक व्यवहार मनुष्य का एक साधन है। 2 धैर्य भीड़ को नियंत्रित करने का एक मुख्य स्रोत है। 3 भीड़भाड़ वाले इलाकों में हमेशा अनुशासन बनाए रखें और एक-दूसरे का सहयोग करें। 4 असामाजिक तत्वों की गतिविधियों पर हमेशा नजर रखें और प्रशासन को सतर्क रखें। 5 लोगों को भीड़ में गतिविधियाँ करने के लिए प्रशिक्षित किया जाना चाहिए।

Respected Sir, My name is Jashvi Ohri and I am a 12-year-old student from Delhi. I request a ban on the hidden plastic linings inside disposable paper cups, which cause massive pollution. Instead, we should promote traditional clay kullhads. They are completely zero-waste, break down safely into garden soil when watered, and support our local potters. Please help us switch to these eco-friendly clay alternatives for a plastic-free India.

महाशिवरात्रि भगवान शिव का पर्व है। भक्तों के लिए पर्यावरण के अनुकूल पर्व मनाया जाना चाहिए। मैं कुछ सुझाव देना चाहता हूँ। 1 पूजा-पाठ के लिए केवल पर्यावरण अनुकूल उत्पादों का ही प्रयोग करें। 2 भक्तों को पर्यावरण के अनुकूल उत्पादों का उपयोग करने के लिए प्रेरित किया जाना चाहिए। 3 मेले के क्षेत्र में पर्यावरण के अनुकूल दिशानिर्देश प्रकाशित किए जाने चाहिए। 4 मेले के क्षेत्र में पर्यावरण के अनुकूल स्वयंसेवकों को तैनात किया जाना चाहिए। 5 इसका संबंध उपासना की पवित्रता से होना चाहिए।
