Mahashakti Seva Kendra proudly collaborates with the Municipal Corporation of Bhopal to drive city-wide sustainability under the Carry Your Own Bag (#CYOB) initiative.
Through this partnership, women artisans transform discarded clothes into durable, eco-friendly shopping bags — offering Bhopal a practical and beautiful alternative to plastic.
By mobilizing residential associations, recycling old textiles, and creating awareness around mindful consumption, MSK ensures that urban sustainability becomes a community habit, not just a campaign.
Together, we are redefining how a city thinks about waste, reuse, and responsibility — one bag, one household, one neighborhood at a time.
MSK works with the Municipal Corporation of Bhopal to create eco-friendly bags from old clothes under the Carry Your Own Bag (#CYOB) movement.
These handmade bags support women artisans while offering citizens a practical replacement for plastic bags.
Each bag is crafted using natural or recycled materials, promoting zero-waste values within the city.
The initiative strengthens women’s income and Bhopal’s commitment to sustainability.
MSK collaborates with various Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) across Bhopal to collect unused clothes.
The collected fabric is upcycled into shopping bags and returned to the RWAs for everyday use.
This circular process reinforces responsible consumption and eliminates the need for plastic carry bags.
Through workshops and awareness sessions, MSK encourages residents to adopt long-term eco-friendly habits.
MSK aims to reshape how Bhopal shops by promoting reusable, fabric-based bags as a permanent lifestyle choice.
Women artisans lead awareness drives to inspire families to switch from single-use plastics to sustainable alternatives.
The movement empowers citizens to recognize their environmental impact and make conscious everyday decisions.
As the program grows, #CYOB is becoming a powerful symbol of civic responsibility and women-led urban reform.
At Mahashakti, urban sustainability is driven by women who understand the pulse of their households and communities. Through upcycling, awareness drives, and citizen collaborations, MSK empowers women to become changemakers who reshape city habits for a cleaner future. From reducing textile waste to replacing plastic bags, MSK equips women with the tools to promote responsible living — proving that women-led movements can transform entire cities.
