''Reducing pollution by promoting sustainable mobility is a core aspect of the 'Yuddh Pradushan ke Viruddh' campaign launched by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Raahgiri Foundation has pioneered the model of bringing together communities around the issues of sustainable mobility, safe streets, and reducing environmental footprint since 2013. It is our pleasure at DDC to collaborate with them to take this message to different parts of Delhi through 6 events over the next 3 months,'' DDC vice-chairman Jasmine Shah said.

'Raahgiri' is a car-free citizen initiative that advocates for safe, accessible, and inclusive public streets. Raahgiri Day inspires people to collectively reimagine and reinvent the street as a public space and as the heart of every community.
