Get Involved

The Power to Change, and Build Better Lives, begins with the actions of one individual. Every good cause requires a great Leader and the Leader is only as powerful as His or Her Team. V Citizens Action Network (VCAN) believes that, our solving peoples’ problems is less effective than providing them the tools to solve it for themselves. Therefore the need for many to “Get Involved”.

 

VCAN’s mission ranges from the issue of managing solid waste generated in homes to bridging the gap between the Citizens of Mumbai and Government Bodies like the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM), Police, RTO and other such departments!

 

There are several issues that the Citizens of Mumbai face on a daily basis. No doubt the MCGM is indeed responsible for rendering efficient services; however they have severe limitations which prevent them from giving the Citizens what they rightly deserve. VCAN has being working with the concerned Government Bodies for quite some time and now it is most necessary for many Citizens to come forward and join us too.
