REPORT ON RIVERBED CLEANING ACTIVITY
INTRODUCTION
On October 21, 2024, MIT ADT University organised a Riverbed Cleaning Activity at the
Mula Mutha Riverside for Postgraduate Semester III students, including MBA students. The
initiative aimed to promote environmental awareness, social responsibility, and teamwork,
offering an opportunity for students to develop soft skills like teamwork, resilience, and
adaptability, which are valuable in their professional lives.
Objectives of the Riverside Cleaning Activity

The Riverside Cleaning Activity had several important goals:
1.Promoting Environmental Responsibility: The activity aimed to raise awareness about the
harmful effects of littering, especially on rivers and natural environments. By cleaning the
riverside, we saw firsthand how waste affects the ecosystem and understood why it's
important to manage waste properly to keep our environment clean.
2.Encouraging Teamwork and Cooperation: This activity gave us a chance to work together
in teams, improving our skills in communication, coordination, and problem-solving. Working
with others helped build a sense of shared responsibility, and we learned to appreciate each
other's strengths while tackling a non-academic challenge.
3.Promoting Physical Activity and Well-being: The cleanup was a physical activity that
offered a break from our usual academic work. It allowed us to enjoy the mental and physical
benefits of being outdoors and helped promote a healthy, balanced lifestyle that combines
community service with fitness.
4.Learning about Local Environmental Issues: The activity gave us a better understanding of
the environmental problems in our local area. We learned about the waste that pollutes local
rivers, the dangers of plastic, and the need for conservation. This experience made us feel
more connected to our community and aware of the environmental challenges it faces.
5.Developing Cultural and Social Awareness: Working with a diverse group of students
helped us understand and respect different perspectives on social responsibility. We had
conversations about how our cultural backgrounds shape our views on the environment,
which helped increase our awareness of social and cultural differences.
6.Encouraging Long-term Environmental Stewardship: The goal of the activity was also to
inspire us to care for the environment long-term. By seeing the impact of pollution firsthand,
we were encouraged to adopt sustainable habits in our daily lives and promote eco-friendly
practices in our communities. This emphasized that small actions can have a big positive
impact on the environment for future generations.
Assembling and Briefing
Once we gathered at the meeting point, we were each assigned a specific section of the
riverbank to clean. The coordinators gave us important tools like gloves, garbage bags, and
other basic equipment to help us collect the waste safely. We were given clear instructions to
avoid touching sharp or dangerous objects for our own safety. The focus was on
teamwork—if we faced any challenges, like dealing with large pieces of trash or
hard-to-reach areas, we were encouraged to help each other. The instructions and team
setup made sure we were ready for the task and helped everyone work together effectively.
Learning Outcomes
We learned several important lessons from this activity:
1.Increased Environmental Awareness: Seeing how litter harms the environment helped us
understand the importance of proper waste disposal. This experience made us more aware
of our responsibility to protect the environment and manage waste sustainably.
2.Practical Teamwork Skills: The activity showed us how important communication,

cooperation, and supporting each other are, especially in tough situations. We learned to
rely on each other’s strengths and work together to achieve a common goal, which is useful
both in personal life and at work.
3.Commitment to Social Responsibility: Participating in the cleanup made us realize the

impact of collective efforts. It encouraged us to adopt more environmentally-friendly habits
and inspired us to continue taking part in community service.
Conclusion
The Riverside Cleaning Activity was a powerful experience that went beyond just learning
from books. By taking part in this cleanup, we helped our community and gained a better
understanding of the environmental problems our society faces. Many of us were inspired to
make eco-friendly choices in our everyday lives and get involved in similar activities in the
future. This experience reminded us that, as responsible citizens, we all have a role in
protecting the environment. It showed us that community service is not just a task but an
important part of our responsibility to keep the planet clean and healthy, motivating us to
keep contributing positively to society.
