They have chosen to remain anonymous as the names and identities of specific individuals are not important.

Their philosophy: "Kaam chalu mooh bandh". (Stop Talking, Start Doing.)

Their guidelines are: 1. No lectures, no moralising, no activism, no self-righteous anger. 2. No confrontation, no arguments, no debates, no pamphlets, no advocacy. 3. Don’t step on anyone’s toes, don’t take sides in any ideological debates., 4. Support existing systems and improve their effectiveness for the greater good. 5. Basically, get real. Treat everyone with sincerity, respect and dignity first, and the greater good will be an outcome.

This is so cool! You guys are setting a great example and doing an amazing job! Kudos to you!

Absolutely right. There are many cultures where despite poverty, public areas are well organized and clean.

Inner city USA and much of India, sadly, are not so.
