On October 20, local residents joined as dedicated volunteers of the global non-profit organization Dr. Shri Nanasaheb Dharmadhikari Pratishthan (DSNDP), undertaking a Adopt-A-Highway cleanup drive in collaboration with the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) at FM 361/FM 1994 up to Seiler Rd, Needville, in Fort Bend County.

The drive drew six volunteers at Fort Bend County who collected ten big size bags of trash along a two-mile stretch, resulting in collection of around 200 pounds of waste.

In alignment with the motto "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" (The world is one family), DSNDP aims to foster a brighter future by advocating for cleanliness drives in collaboration with the US government.
