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.

The issue is to balance religious beliefs and practices with environment protection. Zero waste can be achieved only in stages, gradually with awareness, knowledge, wisdom and realization. The venture is very noteworthy and practically extendable to all temples, if proved successful. So, let's tread carefully, without hurting religious sentiments. 1. Aim at reducing use of pooja materials. 2. Wherever possible, recycle materials. 3. Facilitate online pooja booking and online acknowledgement as an option first. 4. Encourage and incentivise online pooja booking. 5. It is the era of digital and digitization. So, apply this principle to religious practices too. K A Subhas

श्री परशुरामेश्वर पुरा महादेव मंदिर एक प्रसिद्ध और प्राचीन शिव मंदिर है। यह मंदिर भगवान शिव को समर्पित है और भक्तों के लिए आस्था का प्रमुख केंद्र माना जाता है। महाशिवरात्रि के अवसर पर यहाँ विशेष उत्सव मनाया जाता है। इस दिन हजारों श्रद्धालु मंदिर में दर्शन करने आते हैं और भगवान शिव का जलाभिषेक करते हैं। भक्त दूध, जल, बेलपत्र, फूल और प्रसाद अर्पित करते हैं। मंदिर को रंग-बिरंगी रोशनी और फूलों से सजाया जाता है। भजन-कीर्तन और पूजा-पाठ से वातावरण भक्तिमय बन जाता है। यह पर्व श्रद्धा, भक्ति और शांति का संदेश देता है।श्री परशुरामेश्वर पुरा महादेव मंदिर एक प्रसिद्ध और प्राचीन मंदिर है, जो भगवान शिव को समर्पित है। यह मंदिर धार्मिक और ऐतिहासिक दृष्टि से बहुत महत्वपूर्ण माना जाता है। यहाँ दूर-दूर से श्रद्धालु भगवान शिव के दर्शन करने आते हैं और अपनी मनोकामनाएँ पूरी होने की प्रार्थना करते हैं। मंदिर का वातावरण शांत और भक्तिमय होता है, जिससे लोगों को मानसिक शांति और आध्यात्मिक अनुभव प्राप्त होता है। महाशिवरात्रि भगवान शिव का सबसे महत्वपूर्ण पर्व माना जाता है। इस दिन भगवान शिव और माता पार्वती के विवाह

The biggest source of waste after the mela is the large number of plastic water bottles left behind by pilgrim. Some ways are Provide clean drinking water facilities at many locations in and around the temple. This will reduce the need for pilgrims to carry plastic water bottles, similar to the system at Tirupati Temple. Sell drinking water only in glass bottles at a slightly higher price Impose a fine on anyone found carrying or using plastic water bottles. Increase the number of volunteers to monitor and guide pilgrims. Make regular announcements requesting pilgrims not to bring plastic bottles and inform them about the penalties for violating the rule. Arrange a real-time waste collection by volunteers Set up a small waste recycling plant near the mela site. This will help process the collected plastic immediately and reduce the amount of waste left behind and be used for making useful products like chairs, tables toys etc.
