Roots N Horizon Welfare Society and Guldavari Foundation honoured the villagers of Jhalodi gram for their outstanding contribution to environmental protection, cleanliness and rural development.

The recognition was awarded for a successful campaign to reclaim barren and shrub-covered land through voluntary community labour (shramdaan). The indomitable spirit and collective resolve of the villagers breathed new life into land once considered impossible to cultivate.

Women who actively participated in the campaign led by former Gram Pradhan Rajesh Kumar and current Gram Pradhan Smt. Ritu received special recognition.

The Gram Pradhan felicitated outstanding contributors with an incentive of ₹1,100 each. The Gram Sabha announced the purchase of plastic waste at ₹20 per kilogram — a revolutionary step towards making the village plastic-free.

Gram Vikas Adhikari Ravindra Rawat praised the initiative and noted that Jhalodi has set an inspiring example for the entire region. Five dedicated women were honoured with the title of "Safai Mitra" (Clean Friends), who will continue to champion cleanliness in the village.
