Our Core Mission

Dr. Manisha Paliwal and Dr. Yogesh Paliwal are homeopathic doctors who are deeply dedicated environmental enthusiasts. They have established a large-scale initiative to eradicate single-use plastic from society. In 2025, they launched the "Plastic Disposable-Free Maharashtra Campaign", which brought about a massive revolution in a short span of time. The campaign is achieving unprecedented success in waste management and in stopping plastic waste before it even reaches the ground.

The Inspiring Journey

In 2003, Dr. Manisha Paliwal was diagnosed with a very serious illness called 'Multiple Sclerosis'. During this challenging journey, she lost her eyesight three times and recovered it, and experienced severe paralysis-like symptoms in her body six times. However, through sheer willpower and correct treatments, she successfully overcame the disease.

While studying this disease deeply, she realized that global warming and rising pollution are the root causes behind such severe human health complications. Driven by the noble thought that other innocent citizens should not have to endure the life-threatening pain she experienced, she started a direct on-road campaign against plastic.

Initially, whenever she noticed anyone carrying a plastic bag on the street, she would stop them and request them not to use it. Back then, some people would look at her with anger and give rude replies like "Don't teach us wisdom, go tell the government to ban it first," while others would say affectionately, "You are right, but right now we don't have a cloth bag, how do we carry vegetables? We have no choice."

To find a permanent and practical solution to this problem, she started sewing bags out of old fabrics (sarees, bedsheets, curtains) right at her home and began distributing them to people for free upon request.

Key Milestones

The following significant figures have been achieved up to May 31, 2026, through this ongoing and continuous work:

Plastic Disposable-Free Akola Campaign

Launched in 2025 with just 300 plates, glasses, and spoons, this initiative received an overwhelming response from the residents of Akola. The organization provides utensils free of charge to prevent disposable waste generated during domestic functions or public feasts (Bhandaras). Our policy is: "The money that was meant to be spent on buying disposables should instead be given to the local workers who clean the steel utensils after the event", which prevents pollution and generates local employment for the underprivileged.

Currently, the organization's central bank owns 1,100 plates, 1,000 glasses, 250 tea cups, 200 snack plates, and 800 spoons. Driven by this inspiration, this sustainable philosophy has reached over 120 villages, including Satara, Washim, Parbhani, Mumbai, Thane, Palghar, Mahableshwar, and Belagavi (Karnataka).

Health Advisory & Public Awareness

To promote environmental protection and personal wellness, this couple uses bicycles in their daily life. Every morning, they step out on a special Tandem bicycle. Along the way, they stop citizens carrying plastic bags, present them with a cloth bag, and educate them. Furthermore, public awareness placards are installed on their bicycles, scooters, and outside their house. They have distributed over 200 such awareness placards to local vegetable vendors completely free of charge.

They regularly organize awareness campaigns on the harmful effects of plastic and the crucial importance of environmental conservation. They also visit numerous schools to guide students. In 2024, Dr. Manisha Paliwal formed a formal group under the name MY वसुधा विकास to bring like-minded individuals together to scale this impactful work.
