The not-for-profit organisation National Society for Clean Cities India (NSCCI) concludes the year-round celebrations for its 50th anniversary with an art exhibition titled Kaleidoscope Kids by the NGO’s children at Worli’s Nehru Centre this week. Founded in 1972 by Begum Zehra Ali Yavar Jung, the wife of the then Governor of Maharashtra, Nawab Ali Yavar Jung, the platform’s objective is to prioritise cleaner cities, nurture responsible and eco-conscious young citizens and promote the welfare of people living in Bandra East’s Kherwadi neighbourhood. They achieve this through value-based early education for children and skill-based vocational training courses for women. Today, the NSCCI Children’s Complex in Kherwadi offers a space for over 350 lesser-privileged children between the ages of three and five, as well as for older kids to learn art, computers, dance and the tabla.
