On May 22, 2026, a cleanup campaign was conducted at Begnas Lake and Neureni Lake of the Metropolitan City under the Green Jobs Creation through Recycling and Upcycling in Pokhara (GCRU) Project.
The GCRU Project, implemented by CLEAN UP NEPAL in joint venture with Green Road Waste Management, continues to contribute towards promoting green employment opportunities and sustainable waste management practices within the community. The project is implemented with support from KOICA 네팔 사무소 (KOICA Nepal Office) and UNDP Nepal in coordination with Pokhara Metropolitan City.
The cleanup initiative was jointly organized with the active participation of ward representatives, local organizations, community leaders, volunteers, and all Social Mobilizers from both Doko Recyclers and Green Road Waste Management, making the campaign a grand success while encouraging environmental responsibility and community cleanliness.
