Insights from Varanasi Residents

The Harit Safar initiative brought its mission to Varanasi, where the youth of The Climate Agenda (TCA) led a vibrant dialogue with local residents. This engaging event focused on collecting public perspectives to envision cleaner, more affordable, inclusive, and sustainable urban transportation infrastructure.

Residents shared diverse opinions through an interactive board activity

  • While some expressed concerns about the long-term sustainability of electric vehicles (EVs), they emphasized the need to act today to prepare for a better tomorrow.
  • Others advocated for practical solutions like constructing flyovers, developing dedicated cycle lanes, and repairing pothole-ridden roads to alleviate traffic congestion and enhance urban mobility.

These conversations reflect the community’s aspirations for a transportation system that balances growth with sustainability.

As part of our Harit Safar journey, this dialogue is just the beginning. Stay tuned for more public engagement activities designed to amplify citizen voices and foster meaningful change in urban mobility.

Let’s move forward together towards a cleaner, greener future!
