Malhar is a student of CA from KPB Hinduja College, and doing his bit to make Mumbai a trash-less city by cleaning up Dadar beach through his initiative “Beach Please”. The initiative was started on September 10, 2017, and since then the young volunteers have succeeded to remove 360 tonnes of waste from the shore stretch till now. He is a serial volunteer and has been awarded by the United Nations on the International Volunteer Day. He was awarded the Volunteer For Change award and it holds a very special place in his heart and soul. Instead of asking help from the municipal corporations, the youngster took the responsibility onto himself. Malhar somehow felt accountable for the mess and decided to take it upon himself to clean it. The work started with the Dadar Beach which was of course the nearest from his residence. With the help of a few friends they started cleaning up the trash and the waste littered by tourists and locals across the area. And this is exactly where the initiative ‘Beach Please’ started. Beach Please is Malhar’s cleanliness initiative of making our water bodies clean and free from waste. This interested several others, mostly the students, who later joined Malhar Kalambe as volunteers in his journey. After cleaning up the Dadar Beach, where they managed to clean up almost 360 tons of waste, the group decided to clean the Mithi River which was the source of Dadar Beach. Now, cleaning up the Mithi River was a task as it was clogged with domestic as well as industrial waste. But this challenge didn’t let his guards down and he began the second phase of his cleanup drive of cleaning up all the waste from the Mithi River. A major push to his initiative came recently when he organized an inter-college competition in Mumbai to clean up different shore fronts of beaches in the city. More than 1200 students participated and 25 tons of waste were cleaned up in just one hour. Malhar passionately states that we cannot expect the government or ‘others’ to clean up our trash, as the government too does not have sufficient resources or workers to do this task.
