Project Mumbai

Sustainable partnerships: Project Mumbai proudly partnered with the US Consulate the MMRDA, and the Regional Passport Office to create a first of its kind initiative providing benches from recycled plastic (plastic waste donated by Mumbaikars) to be installed across BKC--and which would benefit the thousands of visa applicants who otherwise have to spend hours in the sun, with no appropriate seating. 70 benches are being placed across BKC as part of the first phase and Project Mumbai plans to add many more. U.S. Consul General Mike Hankey Mike Hankey, along with the Chief of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), and other prominentstakeholders, inaugurated the benches during a ceremony held on Monday, October 7. US Consulate Consul General Hankey noted that these benches are not just logistical upgrades but a commitment to supporting the thousands of visa applicants and their families. “This project represents more than just an elevation of facilities. It’s a collaboration that reflects our commitment to improving the visa application process while aligning with the U.S. Mission’s goals of urban waste management and sustainability,” he said. The U.S. Consulate and the Indian Regional Passport Office process thousands of applicants daily in BKC. Visa applicants and their families often wait outside the facilities until their appointment times. The installation of these 70 benches is designed to enhance comfort and improve the overall experience for applicants while benefiting neighboring businesses and institutions. #projectmumbai #ngowork #plasticwaste #usvisa #usconsulate #recycledbenches #plasticrecycledbenches #plasticfreemumbai #ngosofmumbai

Here’s what went down at our first day of Hamara Station, Hamari Shaan - an initiative by Project Mumbai supported by Central Railway! The event was kicked off by actor and environmentalist Dia Mirza at Sewri Station and the station master while the other stations were started off with a brush stroke by their respective station masters as a sign of respect towards their service to all of us! Hundreds of students and corporate employees, registered with Project Mumbai were also seen beautifying other stations including King Circle, Chuna Bhatti and Tilak nagar during the day. The day saw scores of young energetic students earnestly painting the walls through beautiful artwork while Sewri and Tilak nagar station saw a young music volunteer, Neel Kadam, bring his guitar and sing for the artists. “I cannot draw but I can play the guitar and sing, this is my way of volunteering and showing my support to Project Mumbai and DaanUtsav”, he said. There is a kindness bone in each one of us and it is a beautiful feeling when you display it for your own city. Kuchh Pal Apney Sheher Ke Liye—a bit of your time for your city is what we at Project Mumbai are working on to make your urban environment better as well as make Mumbai the country’s Kindness capital”, said Shishir Joshi, founder and CEO of Project Mumbai. Our aim with the initiative ‘Hamara Station, Hamari Shaan’ was not just to beautify and revamp the railway stations but also to bring the communities together and inculcate in them a sense of ownership towards their stations and surroundings! If you’re someone who missed out on being the part of our day 1 of the station painting, you don’t have to worry. We have some more stations lined up for all of you!!
