SwachhAbility Run is the brainchild of the Kargil War Veteran and India’s First Blade Runner, Major DP Singh, which evolved with the support of Mr. Rajnish Kapur, Business Head (Grey Cement) from JK Cement. It is a revolution that started with a mission to spread the awareness about equality of and love for all creations of God, along with promoting the Government’s initiative for cleaner India.
Causes
INCLUSION OF
DIVYANGS AS EQUALS
Negligible knowledge about incest among the people and the sensitivity of the issue was the major challenge that came in our way in this project. Majority of the people had no idea that something like this even existed in our society, specifically in our homes. So the message, that was to be conveyed, had to be extremely informative and a hard hitting one. Also, it had to be strong enough so that it left a deep impact on the audience and convincing enough so that it urged them to come out in open, report the crime and even stand firmly against it.
SWACHHTA
The ideology of Swachhta needed to come out of the words and brought into actual practice. Deriving its inspiration from the government initiated Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, SwachhAbility Run aimed at creating awareness among the people and motivate them to keep the surroundings and the city clean and pollution free, by indulging them in the cleanliness drive.
Our Role
The whole team of Bigrox wholeheartedly indulged itself in the social media marketing of this revolution so that it reaches out to the masses. Each member of the team took it to his head to make SwachhAbility Run a grand success. Along with travelling the 7 cities which were covered by the SwachhAbility Run, we made sure that maximum people connected with the mission through social media. Our impactful social media marketing, engaging video production and expert event coordination urged the people to join the revolution of transforming India.
