Hyderabad: Social media harnesses power of communities
Hyderabad: Social media has revolutionised many fields, but it also brought communities together. Social media helped Hyderabad share information and stay connected with friends and family. It has also become a crucial tool for promoting local businesses, organising events, and raising awareness about important social issues.
Social media has played a significant role in social activism in Hyderabad. Citizens use platforms to mobilise support for various causes, from environmental conservation to public health initiatives.
A group of enthusiasts from “A Waste Project” initiative, conduct clean up drives across several parts of the city. Many people join the initiative and organise lake and area clean ups. Such activities, which are made possible through social media, has led to increased community involvement and a greater sense of solidarity among residents.
On World Social Media Day on Sunday, Hyderabad celebrated the power of social media in connecting people and communities. In an event organised in Gachibowli, social media experts discussed the impact of social media on global communication and connectivity.
