Temsutula Imsong and Darshika Shah came to Varanasi to start their NGO Sakaar Sewa Samiti, when a fateful boat ride made them witness the filth that covered Prabhu Ghat, one the city's most famous sights.

The piles of waste and excrement saddened them in that the PM's own constituency was such a colossal mess. A month later, they returned with cleaning equipment and a group of volunteers to begin their clean up project on Prabhu Ghat. After three days of cleaning, the ghat was spic and span with over 300 kg of waste being disposed off. A month later, the ladies were commended by none other than Prime Minister, Narendra Modi.

Today, they are working on Mission Parijat which includes the clean up of Babua Ghat along with two reservoirs Sonebhadra Kund and Gauri Kund. Imsong and Shah are assisted by mostly college students who are passionate about the environment and do not want to see their city decline into a waste hole.
