Background:

Hawa Badlo campaign is in line with GAIL's commitment to improve the air quality with collective societal effort under the Hawa Badlo - Swachh Air Mission initiative. This campaign seeks to unify people who believe in the cause and urges them to sign up as Hawa Badlo warriors to physically execute initiatives and take steps towards positive change. These Hawa Badlo warriors would spearhead this change and encourage more and more people to make this movement bigger.

Hawa Badlo movement's objective is to create awareness about the consequences of environmental contamination caused by human activity and motivate the masses to inculcate air-friendly habits such as switching to CNG/electric vehicles, carpooling, and use of public transport.
