This Doctor Leads an Initiative of Plastic-Free Bhavnagar

Medic-Driven change

"In the last decade, our forests have increasingly become littered with plastic bottles, bags, and wrappers. Someone had to step up and take action to clean this waste. Inspired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi's Swachh Bharat Mission, I felt a deep responsibility to give back to the earth that has given me so much. That's how my journey to make Plastic-free Bhavnagar began," shared Dr. Tejas Doshi, who has been serving as a general physician in Bhavnagar for the past 23 years.

The nationwide 'Swachhata Hi Seva' campaign, launched on September 17, coinciding with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birthday, was also kicked off across Gujarat by Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel. The campaign aims to instil the values of 'Swabhav-Swachhata' and 'Sanskaar-Swachhata' in the people of Gujarat.
