The Navjeevan Vihar RRR Centre is a testament to community collaboration, promoting waste reduction, reuse, and recycling. It has collected over 25 tons of assorted items, benefiting those in need and demonstrating the power of solidarity during times of crisis. Recent initiatives have resulted in the collection of over ten tons of dry ration, biscuits, beverages, pre-loved clothing, footwear, mattresses, bedding, toys, books, stationary, and sanitary pads from the residents of Navjeevan Vihar and surrounding colonies.

These items have been a source of relief for those who are lesser privileged or affected by floods. In times of crisis, the RRR Centre highlights true solidarity and compassion. Expanding its reach, the centre operates the "RRR on Wheels," a hired vehicle that extends its efforts to neighboring colonies, making participation in their noble cause even more accessible. We also advocate for the use of compost and Vikalp Cloth bags as eco-friendly alternatives to single-use plastics.

In a creative and empowering move, the center engages women in livelihood activities, teaching them to craft envelopes from donated newspapers, thus promoting women's empowerment and upcycling. Addressing critical environmental issues, the RRR Centre actively collects plastic waste and electronic materials. To incentivize participation, they offer Vikalp cloth bags in exchange for these discarded items. The collected plastic and electronic waste are responsibly routed to recycling facilities, alleviating the strain on landfill sites. The Navjeevan Vihar RRR Centre serves as a beacon of inspiration, motivating others to take similar steps towards creating a better world. Let us join hands, lend our support to their noble endeavours, and collectively make a lasting impact on our community and the environment.

We also hold RRR Stall at various places to collect these preloved items at community level. We have received award for Navjeevan Vihar RRR Centre and it has been covered many times by Swachh Bharat Mission on social media.
