PR Professionals launches much needed campaign to clean Gurgaon

On the occasion of its 14th Foundation Day, PR Professionals (PRP) flagship of the PRP Group, launched #IOwnGurugram, a community-led civic responsibility campaign aimed at inspiring citizens, corporates, and communities to take proactive ownership of the city’s well-being. While Gurugram, known as the Millennium City, is celebrated for its modern growth, it has also been grappling with several infrastructure and urban challenges. The campaign calls on citizens to take ownership wherever possible and work alongside authorities and the government to address these issues.

To mark the beginning of #IOwnGurugram, over 100 PRP employees at its HQ, Gurugram, rolled up their sleeves to tackle on-ground civic issues around their office vicinity in Gurugram. They began by filling dangerous potholes on MG Road in front of their office hazards that posed safety risks, caused traffic congestion, and damaged vehicles. Additionally, they cleaned the areas and pavements around the Guru Dronacharya Metro Station. 

Beyond cleaning and pothole-filling, PRP team members led an awareness drive, engaging with auto drivers and small food stall owners to encourage them to keep their surroundings clean. The campaign’s driving slogan is: “Hum Sudhrenge, Jag Sudhrega” (“If we improve ourselves, the world will improve”).

Speaking about the initiative, Dr. Sarvesh Tiwari, founder & managing director, PR Professionals, shared, "Gurugram is not just where we work; it is our home. And just as we care for our homes, we must also care for our city. On PRP’s 14th Foundation Day with #IOwnGurugram, we aim to transition from being passive observers to active problem solvers."

"This city’s challenges are ours to address, and it’s high time we take ownership of them. Through this initiative, we want to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with fellow citizens, local authorities, and the government to make Gurugram a cleaner, safer, and better place to live."

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the company supported marginalised communities by providing food and rations to around 500 stranded migrant labourers. It also adopted 135 children who lost their parents during the pandemic, funding their education until their eldest family member becomes financially independent.
