Team Swachh Kalyani Nagar (TSKN) is a group of active citizens who have come together to work for the community. An active citizens’ body is essential for an engaged vibrant community, and TSKN is just that – a group that looks for innovative solutions to problems in the community, be it related to waste management or other civic affairs, traffic, law and order and so on. TSKN’s team members have a diverse range of skills, each of which is important to deliver what a healthy engaged community needs.
Started in November 2014 as a volunteer group, it has grown to become a known entity in the locality and beyond. TSKN’s work has been appreciated by the Pune Municipal Corporation, other citizen groups across Pune city, and even other cities in India and abroad.
