A dream city
A dream every day
The one we all deserve, made to reality by each of us!
Join us to become a part of the change you wish to see in your city!
In Mumbai alone, we are all affected by
Potholes: 16000 potholes in 2022 alone, claiming the lives of 5626 people between 2018 and 2022.
Waste generation: 68.8 million metric tonnes per year generated but all of this was not collected.
Access to Public facilities: 58% of toilets have no electricity.
These civic issues affect our everyday! Our daily commute, our health, and our overall safety!
We from BRM work towards creating a systemic resolution of these civic issues in a city broadly across 8 major categories :
Road safety,
Solid Waste Management,
Public Facilities Hygiene,
Drainage Issues and Sewage Management,
Maintenance of Public spaces (parks, lakes),
Street Lighting,
Water Distribution and Supply,
Pollution.
While all these problems are cyclical in nature, occurring across one or the other neighbourhood on a weekly basis, the best part of the solution is that there are government bodies who are both in charge and highly responsive when grievances are raised by citizens. The real challenge is the prioritization of which civic issue and in which neighborhood to ensure timely and cyclical action.
Hence at BRM, we work with 300s of youth (selected from various colleges across the city living across different wards) on a monthly basis to :
Empower themselves with the knowledge on how to raise complaints to the right authorities and ensure the most effective and timely resolution of pressing challenges
Transform into a youth leader, a guardian of the neighborhood they live in and ensure cyclical maintenance of civic facilities
Inculcate the concept of being an active citizen for their lifetime by spreading awareness and encouraging everyone in their circle to raise complaints to better the living conditions of any city in India
It’s a journey of impact, growth, and change for our youth for we believe when you work for society you transform yourself!
We invite you to become a supporter of the movement that enables young people to realize their role as active citizens and impact all our lives. Like Shridhar who worked in his community, engaging with citizens, corporators, and the municipal corporation to resolve the issues his society faces. Watch his change journey here.
Who doesn’t want to live in a city they live and thrive in?
Make your every day better!
