In a world in need for environmental preservation, India's rich
cultural heritage and ancient traditions hold a beacon of hope. Recognizing
the intrinsic sustainability of Indian culture, Mission LiFE (Mission
Lifestyle for Environment) has emerged as a transformative campaign, aimed at
fostering positive behavioral changes among individuals and communities. The
collaboration between UNICEF India, YuWaah India, U-Report India, and the
Ministry of Environment Forest and Climate Change marks a significant milestone
in the quest for a greener future. A Nationwide Launch: May 2023 witnessed
the grand inauguration of the #MissionLiFE campaign on U-Report India, an
innovative platform that engages people of all ages and genders. |

I (Shambhu Shankar Behera from Seraikela Jharkhand) have actively participated in the #MissionLife Campaign when I received the notification on my WhatsApp from U-Report India. I got the opportunity to learn about sustainable lifestyle changes that I can make to save the environment. I earned 5 distinct badges and unlocked a champion badge and became the #MissionLiFE champion of India. |

With
the knowledge I attained, I tried a new experiment by conceptualizing and
finally creating a smart dustbin successfully. This dustbin doesn’t require
manual operation, as the dustbin opens automatically when garbage is brought
near it. Its lid closes when the garbage is successfully disposed. This helped contain any potential contaminants. This can further
be used to create manure from organic waste. And with its endless potential,
it can be a significant component in the clean India movement. |
