Ragpickers Aid Vishwamitri River Rejuvenation Project

Imagine a team of helpers, called ragpickers, are working to clean up the Vishwamitri River.

They are picking up plastic waste, like bottles and bags, that ends up along the riverbanks.

These workers are part of a special project by the Vadodara Municipal Corporation to make the river cleaner.

The ragpickers collect all sorts of plastic.

This plastic is then taken to a recycling center, where it is either reused or turned into fuel.

They are paid for their work.

This helps the river and gives the workers a way to earn money.
