At its "Earth Day—Every Day With DSNDP" event on April 27, 2024, the worldwide organisation Dr. Shri. Nanasaheb Dharmadhikari Pratishthan (DSNDP) organised a massive cleanup drive and tree conservation efforts. The drive brought together over 300 volunteers from the DSNDP, who travelled from 29 states in the USA and other countries like Canada, Mexico, and India. They served 21 locations at once in Manhattan and Brooklyn, as well as in Middlesex, Union, and Somerset Counties in New Jersey. Thirteen locations in the Garden State and twelve in New York City hosted the sporting event.

In a joint effort with state government agencies, DSNDP has been conducting free, statewide cleanliness drives and tree planting and conservation programmes all year long, which has resulted in substantial savings for the government, according to the statement. In an effort to highlight the importance of each person's role in creating a cleaner environment, volunteer haulers gathered 258 garbage bags' worth of refuse, totaling over four thousand pounds.

A number of locations were reportedly cleaned, including the following: the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, Times Square, The Vessel, the American Natural History Museum, Grand Central Terminal, the World Trade Centre, Central Park, the Manhattan Bridge, Bryant Park, Madison Square Park, the Flat Iron building, St Patrick's Cathedral, Roosevelt Island, and many more.

Thanks a lot for everything you do all the time. During the inauguration of the Mega Cleanliness Drive and Tree Conservation Event in Jersey City, Senator Angela V. McKnight (D-31) expressed her sheer excitement.

Local politicians such as Assemblywoman Jessica Ramirez (D-32), Chairperson Anthony L. Romano Jr. (D-5), and Council President Joyce E. Watterman (D) were also present at the ceremony. Ramirez expressed her admiration for the "amazing work of Dr. Shri. Nanasaheb Dharmadhikari Pratishthan" and her "deep appreciation to the founders Dr. Shri Appasaheb Dharmadhikari and Dr. Shri Sachindada Dharmadhikari for their forward-thinking guidance and indefatigable resolve to tackle these critical environmental and social concerns."

Additionally, Ramirez brought attention to the fact that the "cleanup and tree conservation drives across the USA have not only helped on preserving our natural resources, but they've also saved the government thousands of dollars." These outreach initiatives are part of the DSNDP. Proving once and for all the efficacy of joined forces, this

Additionally, she emphasised the importance of "each of us to take action within our own lives to protect and preserve our planet for future generations."

At a recent event, Romano Jr. remarked, "This (Jersey City) is probably the most diversified city in the United States." He went on to say that it is "truly amazing" what DSNDP has achieved thus far through its collaboration with government programmes, and he urged volunteers to back community drives in Philadelphia and Jersey City. Watterman expressed gratitude for the "volunteer time" of DSNDP and warned against taking it for granted. Looking around, I can see that your culture is more environmentally concerned than any other I've encountered.
