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 initiative to celebrate Maha Shivaratri at Shri Parshurameshwar Pura Mahadev Temple as a “Zero Waste Mahotsav” is a powerful step towards combining spirituality with environmental responsibility. Mahashivratri is not only a festival of devotion to Lord Shiva, but also a reminder of simplicity, balance, and harmony with nature. Organizing the festival in an eco-friendly manner can inspire thousands of devotees and create a model for sustainable religious celebrations across the region.One of the most important ideas is to completely eliminate single-use plastic during the Mahotsav. Plastic water pouches, disposable cups, thermocol plates, and plastic spoons should be banned within the temple premises. Instead, devotees can be encouraged to use steel utensils, clay cups, areca leaf plates, and reusable water bottles. Water refill stations with earthen pots and dispensers can be arranged at multiple locations to reduce bottled water waste.

A simple mobile monitoring system can help sanitation teams identify overflowing bins and maintain real-time cleanliness. Eco-friendly decorations using bamboo, cloth and natural materials should replace thermocol and plastic flex boards. Solar-powered lighting can further support sustainable infrastructure. Awareness campaigns using devotional messages like “Swachhta bhi Seva hai” and “Bhakti Bhi, Prakriti Bhi” can inspire behavioural change among devotees. This initiative can help develop Baghpat as a national model for sustainable religious tourism by successfully combining faith, tradition, public participation and environmental responsibility under Mission LiFE and Swachh Bharat.

To transform the Mahashivratri Mela into a Zero Waste Mahotsav, a community-driven and technology-supported model can be implemented focusing on waste reduction, plastic-free practices and environmental awareness. A “Green Seva Volunteer Team” consisting of NCC, NSS students and local youth can guide visitors regarding waste segregation and cleanliness. Colour-coded bins for wet waste, dry waste and puja materials should be installed throughout the mela area. Organic waste and flower offerings can be converted into compost and eco-friendly incense products through local recycling initiatives. Single-use plastic should be completely banned inside the mela premises. Vendors can be encouraged to use biodegradable leaf plates, clay cups and reusable steel utensils through a refundable deposit system. Water refill stations should be installed to reduce plastic bottle waste.QR code based digital signboard can provides directions emergency supports awareness messages , reduces paper waste.

मेले के दौरान अगर कोई श्रद्धालु अपना कचरा जैसे कागज के कप निर्धारित 'स्मार्ट डस्टबिन' में डालता है और वहां लगे क्यूर कोड को स्कैन करता है, तो उसे कुछ 'डिजिटल पॉइंट्स' मिलें इन पॉइंट्स का उपयोग मेले की दुकानों पर प्रसाद या स्थानीय हस्तशिल्प खरीदने में छूट के लिए किया जा सके इससे लोग खुद कचरा साफ रखने के लिए प्रेरित होंगे मेले में भंडार और लंगर के लिए केवल मिट्टी के कुल्हड़, पत्तलों और कंपोस्टेबल बर्तनों का ही उपयोग अनिवार्य हो।

मेले को पूरी तरह से प्लास्टिक-मुक्त बनाने और कचरा प्रबंधन को सुव्यवस्थित करने के लिए हम 'क्यूआर-रिवार्ड सिस्टम' और 'ग्रीन इंफ्रास्ट्कचर' का उपयोग कर सकते हैं,

प्रशासन की ओर से 'बर्तन बैंक' स्थापित किए जा सकते हैं, जहाँ से छोटे स्टॉल वाले बर्तन किराए पर ले सकें और धोकर वापस कर सकें। उत्पन्न होने वाले गीले कचरे (बचे हुए भोजन और फूलों) को मेले के पास ही मोबाइल कंपोस्टिंग यून या धूप बनाए।

“श्री परशुरामेश्वर पुरा महादेव महाशिवरात्रि महोत्सव को ‘Zero Waste Mahotsav’ बनाने हेतु मंदिर परिसर एवं मेला क्षेत्र में Dry Waste, Wet Waste तथा Puja Waste के लिए अलग-अलग रंगों के कूड़ेदान स्थापित किए जाएँ। स्वयंसेवकों एवं स्थानीय युवाओं की सहायता से स्वच्छता निगरानी टीम बनाई जाए, जो श्रद्धालुओं को कचरा पृथक्करण हेतु जागरूक करे। प्लास्टिक उपयोग पर नियंत्रण रखते हुए कपड़े, पत्तों एवं मिट्टी से बने पर्यावरण अनुकूल उत्पादों को प्रोत्साहित किया जाए। पूजा सामग्री एवं फूलों से जैविक खाद (Compost) तैयार करने की व्यवस्था की जाए, जिससे मंदिर परिसर स्वच्छ एवं पर्यावरण अनुकूल बना रहे।”

मेले के बाद “स्वच्छता महाअभियान” चलाकर स्वयंसेवकों के साथ पूरे क्षेत्र की सफाई सुनिश्चित की जाए।
