A former classmate of activist Tukaram Mundhe has launched a campaign to improve hygiene on Bihar’s food plates.
A former batchmate of well‑known activist Tukaram Mundhe has taken up a public‑health drive aimed at cleaning the food plates used across Bihar. The individual, whose name has not been disclosed, is coordinating volunteers to collect, wash and sanitize plates in schools, community centres and local eateries.
The effort focuses on reducing contamination and promoting better hygiene practices among households and food vendors. Participants are instructed to use clean water and approved detergents, and to ensure that plates are dried properly before reuse.
Local authorities have expressed support for the initiative, noting its potential to curb food‑borne illnesses in the state. Organisers hope the campaign will encourage broader community participation and set a precedent for similar cleanliness drives in other regions.
The project is being documented by India Today, highlighting the role of grassroots activism in addressing public‑health challenges in Bihar.
