Community participation practices in India include various activities that bring people together for social welfare.
Langars (community kitchens) at gurudwaras serve free food to all visitors, embodying the spirit of selfless service and equality.
Swachh Bharat Abhiyan involves citizens collectively cleaning streets, parks, and public places, promoting cleanliness and hygiene awareness.
Van Mahotsav (festival of forests) involves tree plantation drives where communities come together to plant trees and protect the environment.
Festival celebrations see communities decorating places and sharing food together, while religious processions and cultural events are organised by communities to celebrate traditions.
