Adar Poonawalla Clean City Initiative is an environmentally sustainable initiative, undertaken by Serum Institute of India and Mr. Adar Poonawalla as a contribution towards social responsibility.
His vision for the clean city began in 2015 when he found garbage piling up and being dumped across the city. He realized that if India’s image had to be improved a drastic change would be required with good management, local government support and substantial funding. He has pledged to fund in his capacity Rs. 100 cr for this initiative.
