In this Everyday Movement Makers episode:

In this episode, we sit down with Lazar Jankovic, the visionary who turned a personal plogging project into the grassroots Ek Din Ek Gully movement. His journey proves that individual impact doesn't require a permit just the willingness to pick up a broom and take ownership of the space you stand on.

We often wait for big policies or global summits to solve our environmental crises, but what happens when an individual decides to stop waiting?

Lazar shares how a simple walk through the streets of India sparked a grassroots revolution in cleanliness and civic responsibility. This conversation isn't about massive corporate shifts, it’s about the "sovereignty of the citizen" and how cleaning the space right outside your own door can transform the psyche of an entire city.

• The "One Street" Philosophy: Why focusing on your immediate surroundings is more effective than broad activism.

• Overcoming the Blame Game: Shifting the narrative from "What is the government doing?" to "What can I do today?"

• The Compound Effect of Consistency: How small, individual actions build collective civic sense over time.

In this System Shapers episode of Get Set Green, speaking with Rwitika Bhattacharya, CEO of Swaniti Initiative — an organization empowering governments and lawmakers across South Asia to create data-driven, climate-resilient policies.

In a world where climate challenges are growing faster than our policies can catch up, we need leaders who can connect governance with ground realities.

Here’s how Swaniti is driving impact:

1. ​Works directly with governments and parliamentarians to embed sustainability into decision-making.
2. ​Uses data, research, and design to strengthen policy systems.
3. ​Focuses on climate adaptation, gender equity, and livelihood resilience.
4. ​Bridges the gap between grassroots realities and national policies.

Rwitika’s journey is a masterclass in how strong systems — led by visionary women — can turn sustainability from a goal into action.
