He also admired the organizers for their efforts to promote local artisans, producers and businesses through events like Swadeshi Mela.

C. A. R. Sundaram, national convener of Swadeshi Jagaran Manch, echoed the Governor’s sentiments, noting that the “Vocal for Local” initiative has turned Swadeshi into a national movement.

  2. Water pollution: Immersion of PoP idols in water bodies leads to increased acidity and heavy metal content, harming aquatic life.
  3. Promoting sustainability: Clay Ganesha awareness encourages the use of natural, eco-friendly materials, reducing waste and pollution.
  4. Preserving traditional craftsmanship: Clay idol-making supports local artisans and preserves traditional craftsmanship.
  5. Raising awareness: Initiatives and campaigns educate people about the environmental impact of their choices and promote a shift towards eco-friendly practices.

By choosing clay Ganesha idols, we can celebrate the festival in a more sustainable and environmentally conscious way!
