Priyanka led a dedicated team exclusively for the clean up process in a slum that had heaps of garbage and took up the challenge of modifying the same.
As a part of her contribution she said that the idea is not only to clean up the place but to rehabilitate families that live amidst the heaps of garbage.
Great going girl. That's the way forward.
