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.

Title: Green Mahashivratri – Zero Waste Temple Idea: My idea is to make Shri Parshurameshwar Pura Mahadev Temple Mahashivratri a Zero Waste Mahotsav. The temple should become a Plastic-Free Zone, banning single-use plastics and promoting reusable items like cloth bags and bottles. Separate bins for wet waste, dry waste, and puja materials should be placed around the temple. Temple flower waste can be converted into compost. Water refill stations should be installed to reduce plastic waste. A Green Volunteer Team can help spread awareness and maintain cleanliness. Expected Impact: A cleaner temple, less pollution, and a model for eco-friendly festivals. Tagline: “Clean Temple, Green Festival – Har Har Mahadev!”

Water refill stations should be installed to reduce plastic bottle use. A Green Volunteer Team of students and local youth can guide devotees and spread awareness about cleanliness and sustainability. Digital awareness through posters and QR codes can educate visitors on zero-waste practices.

Title: Smart Green Mahashivratri – Building a Zero Waste Temple Festival Idea Description: My idea is to transform Shri Parshurameshwar Pura Mahadev Temple Mahashivratri into a Zero Waste Mahotsav, making it a model for eco-friendly and sustainable religious celebrations. During Mahashivratri, thousands of devotees visit the temple, which creates a large amount of waste such as plastic bottles, food wrappers, disposable plates, and flower waste. If not managed properly, this harms the environment and creates pollution. To solve this problem, the temple should be declared a Plastic-Free Zone, where single-use plastic items like cups, bags, and bottles are banned and replaced with eco-friendly alternatives such as cloth bags, reusable bottles, and biodegradable materials.

My idea is to transform Shri Parshurameshwar Pura Mahadev Temple Mahashivratri into a Zero Waste Mahotsav by combining devotion with environmental responsibility. During festivals, a large amount of waste such as plastic bottles, food wrappers, and flower waste is generated. To solve this, the temple should become a Plastic-Free Zone, replacing single-use plastic with eco-friendly materials like cloth bags and biodegradable products. Separate waste segregation bins for wet, dry, and puja waste should be installed at multiple locations. Organic waste like flowers and leaves can be converted into compost and natural incense, creating a sustainable waste cycle. Water refill stations should be introduced to reduce plastic bottle usage. A Green Volunteer Team of students and local youth can guide devotees, manage waste, and spread awareness about cleanliness. Tagline: “Devotion for God, Responsibility for Nature – Har Har Mahadev!”

The temple premises should be declared a Plastic-Free Zone, where single-use plastics are banned and eco-friendly alternatives like cloth bags and reusable bottles are encouraged. Separate waste collection bins for dry waste, wet waste, and puja materials should be installed for proper disposal. Temple flowers and organic waste can be recycled into compost and natural products, reducing environmental pollution. Water refill stations should be set up to minimize plastic bottle waste. A Green Volunteer Team of students and local youth can help manage waste, guide visitors, and spread awareness about cleanliness and sustainability. Expected Impact: This initiative will reduce waste, protect the environment, inspire responsible behavior, and make Mahashivratri a model eco-friendly festival. Tagline: “Clean Temple, Green Festi
