On November 16, volunteers of the global non-profit organization Dr. Shri. Nanasaheb Dharmadhikari Pratishthan (DSNDP), undertook an Adopt-A-Highway cleanup drive in collaboration with the Texas Department of Transportation, working at FM 361/FM 1994 up to Seller Rd, Needville. The drive by DSNDP drew ten volunteers who collected 14 bags of trash resulting in collection of around 210 pounds of waste.

With the core principle of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" (The world is one family), DSNDP has undertaken numerous nationwide environmental initiatives since July 2022.

Beyond Texas, DSNDP operates in 19 states and 80 cities across the U.S., hosting 27 environmental programs such as Adopt-A-Highway, Adopt-A-Park, Adopt-A-Beach, and river cleanups. In total, DSNDP has mobilized 4,128 volunteers, who collectively removed 62,670 pounds of trash, providing substantial cost savings to local and state governments.
