Paryavaran Mitra is a not-for-profit social enterprise aimed at holistic upliftment of rag-picking w

Paryavaran Mitra is a humble endeavor to uplift the rag-picking women of India in a holistic manner while focusing on their dignity and respect. Rag-pickers, mostly women, collect recyclable waste from the streets and dump sites and sell it for their daily wages. As these women play an integral role in waste management and recycling, they provide a silent but essential service to both society and

the environment. For this reason, with great respect, we call them as Paryavaran Mitra or Friends of the Environment.

A Month of Joy and Celebration at Paryavaran Mitra
This month was filled with joy, celebration, and togetherness at Paryavaran Mitra.
We began the month by celebrating Holi with our beloved ragpicking sisters. It was a simple but heartfelt celebration where we shared dhani and khajur, spreading colors of happiness and gratitude among everyone.
In the same week, we also celebrated Women’s Day in a special way. Around 300 sisters joined us for a joyful outing where we watched a movie together, followed by a small treat of pani puri, bhel puri, bananas, and a ₹100 gift envelope for each sister. It was a beautiful moment of laughter, relaxation, and appreciation for the incredible strength and hard work of these women.
A heartfelt thank you to our mother organization Manav Sadhna, our generous supporters, and Diptiben for helping make this wonderful celebration possible. Your support continues to bring dignity, joy, and encouragement to the lives of so many sisters.
Together, we continue to celebrate their strength, resilience, and the spirit of community. 🙏

🌟 Happy Uttarayan to Everyone! 🌟
This week has been truly fulfilling and full of joy. We were blessed to celebrate Uttarayan with the wonderful sisters of Paryavaran Mitra, making the festival even more meaningful.
With the generous support of Diptiben, this Uttarayan we were able to distribute 400 blankets and sweets (Kacharyu) to our sisters across all centers. To add festive cheer, we also celebrated by sharing kites 🪁 and chikkis 🍬, spreading smiles and warmth everywhere. 🙏
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported and stood with us. Together, we continue to uplift, empower, and celebrate our community. 💛

Namaste everyone 🙏
A few days ago, a Gujarati movie titled “Lalo” was released. The film portrays the life of a rickshaw driver who struggles with alcohol addiction and often misbehaves with his wife. Later, he finds himself trapped in a farmhouse, where he confronts his past demons and experiences divine visions of Lord Krishna, who guides him on a powerful journey of self-discovery, healing, and transformation.
Many of our rag-picker sisters shared that the situations shown in the movie closely reflect the challenges they face in their own homes. After hearing about the movie from them, they requested that we take them to watch it.
Understanding their emotions and connection with the story, we decided to take all our sisters to watch the movie together. 🌸
It turned out to be a truly meaningful experience — everyone enjoyed it a lot, and it sparked hope, reflection, and positivity.
We sincerely thank everyone for your continuous love and support.
Your encouragement helps us create such moments of joy and healing for our community. 💚
Thank you once again for standing with us.

Paryavaran Mitra Sisters Dwarka–Somnath Trip

Every 2–3 years, Paryavaran Mitra organize a long trip for our ragpicking sisters — a time for them to relax, explore, and enjoy moments just for themselves.
This year, we were delighted to take them on a beautiful journey to Dwarka and Somnath. Many of the sisters — nearly 90% — had never been to these places, even though they live in Gujarat! Around 150 sisters joined the trip, and it was truly heartwarming to see their joy and excitement at every destination we visited. 💫
A big thank you to everyone who made this trip possible — your love and support mean a lot for us. 💖
Special thanks to Viralbhai, Chatkazz, Virenbhai, Bharatbhai, and all the coordinators of Paryavaran Mitra for their incredible efforts in organizing and supporting the trip.
And a heartfelt thanks to Ajaybhai for joining us and supporting us throughout the journey. 🙏
Together, we created memories that will last a lifetime! 💐

In the heart of Gandhinagar, 42-year-old Kunal Naranbhai Hadiyel begins each day with quiet strength. A father of three and the youngest of four siblings, Kunal’s journey has been anything but easy.

Originally from Mehsana, he had to leave school after the 10th standard to care for his ailing mother. Taking responsibility early, he chose work over comfort and began as a medicine transporter.

When the job took him too far from home, he found a new path with Paryavaran Mitra, an NGO focused on waste management. There, he took up work as a waste transporter — a role he’s held for the last seven years.

Even after developing heart issues, Kunal continued. The NGO provided him with medication, supported his children’s education, and stood by his family financially.

Kunal’s story isn’t just about survival — it’s about resilience. He proves that dignity lies not in what you do, but in the heart you bring to it.
