"Bengaluru slips to the #125th spot in the Swaccha Survekshan Program 2023", according to the blunt headlines from TheNewIndiaTimes TNIT. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time our city has found itself scraping the #bottom in terms of cleanliness and waste management. #Indore, on the flip side, continues to claim the top position for cleanliness and waste management. How do they do it? Well, as per TheHindu Times, Indore charges a modest fee from each household to recycle segregated waste. Moreover, every month, the #citizens of Indore roll up their sleeves and hit the streets to clean up the mess we create as a community. The secret sauce lies in the #collective action embraced by both officials and citizens in Indore. Their joint efforts have proven instrumental in keeping dumpsites at bay, resulting in fewer instances of #garbage burning and subsequently, an improvement in the city's Air Quality Index (AQI) and Health standards. Now, let's talk about Bengaluru. Despite implementing segregated waste collection system, the city has fumbled in instilling a sense of #responsibility among its citizens. The lack of a united front has left the dumping and burning issues unchecked. Here's where I come in, rallying for a collective action to turn the tide in our city. I'm reaching out to #fellow community members, #citizens, and #officials, urging everyone to join forces. Together, we can transform Bengaluru into a haven with no pungent spots, no buzzing flies invading our homes, and no lakes choked with waste. Currently, we are a team of 35 citizens/volunteers taking action but with million of population we need more hands to join the initiative. If you're on #board, sign up here: https://lnkd.in/gACKxNgQ, or drop me a line at chiku@jhatkaa.org with the subject line "NoGarbageSpots." Let's make our city cleaner, greener, and more livable.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮'𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆. (and a step-by-step guide on how other cities can become too.) 👇 Indore's streak as "Cleanest City in India" for seven years straight wasn't an overnight success story. Like many Indian cities, Indore grappled with waste management woes: 👉 Bursting Population Growth: More people meant more waste, straining the city's waste management infrastructure. 👉 Inefficient Waste Collection: Old methods led to heaps of uncollected waste cluttering the streets. 👉 Lack of Waste Segregation: Residents didn't sort their waste, making recycling a Herculean task. To turn the tide, Indore rolled out a comprehensive strategy: 👉 100% Household Waste Segregation: Residents now sort waste into wet, dry, and hazardous categories. 👉 Smart Systems for Waste Collection: A centralized command center keeps tabs on garbage trucks, optimizing routes and slashing delays. Over 2,200 trucks collect 1.4+ million tons annually. 👉 Decentralized Waste Processing: Composting and bio-methanation plants dot the city, turning organic waste into compost and biogas. Indore's approach is a triple threat: 👉 It's thorough. 👉 It's eco-friendly. 👉 It's scalable. Want to follow suit? Here's how: 👉 Draft a robust waste management plan. 👉 Educate folks on waste segregation. 👉 Introduce door-to-door collection. 👉 Invest in processing facilities. 👉 Enforce segregation rules.

This #WorldEnvironmentDay, we are proud to share our progress in conserving natural resources and promoting sustainable community practices. Our collaborative water conservation and waste management efforts foster a healthier, more resilient environment for future generations. The watershed and environmental conservation projects at Kolar, Hyderabad and Salem implemented by the S M Sehgal Foundation and Bala Vikasa Social Service Society, have significantly improved water storage, boosted agricultural productivity through silt distribution, regenerative horticulture while helping reduce overall water consumption through drip irrigation systems. Additionally, our project teams have educated farmers on scientific irrigation practices to ensure sustainable water usage. Under the waste management project, two 1250-litre capacity composters were installed to transform organic waste into valuable compost and encourage household waste segregation. To further proliferate awareness on waste management, a vibrant mural has been painted on the Bangalore walls with the community's support, urging people to reduce, reuse, and recycle for a cleaner city. These initiatives exemplify First American (India)’s unwavering commitment to sustainability and inspire our community to embrace eco-friendly practices. Together, we are building a greener, more sustainable future.

Senior Credit Analyst at NatWest | Writer | 12k + Followers | Talks about Work Culture, Business, Finance, Career, and Lifestyle | I help CA students in their CA journey
"Have you ever wondered why the government asks us to segregate wet and dry garbage (blue and green box)?" You've probably heard about the Gazipur dumping ground, which stands at 65 meters tall, over 50% taller than India Gate. Yes, that's true😳 The Delhi Government aims to resolve this issue by the end of the year, though progress is slow. Delhi is looking to emulate the strategy implemented by Indore city, which involves Biomining (the process of segregating). Recyclable waste is sent to recycling stations, and if it contains polythene, it may be diverted for road construction, etc. Non-recyclable waste can be used for composting.Additionally, the Delhi government is dispatching vehicles to collect waste. To assist the government, we can also segregate our waste into wet and dry categories. #agree #helpgovernment #caexams #caaspirants #caexams

❤️ #Indore has been declared as the #CleanestCityInIndia for the seventh time in a row, by the Swachh Survekshan 2023, This is a huge honor & a testament to the hard work and dedication of the Indore Municipal Corporation, the citizens, and the sanitation workers, who have made cleanliness and hygiene a way of life. Indore has transformed itself from being ranked 25th in 2016 to being the undisputed champion of cleanliness since 2017. How did Indore achieve this feat? ❤️Key Factors that contributed to Indore's success: 👉A strong political will and administrative support, led by the Mayor, the Commissioner, and the Collector, who ensured the effective implementation and monitoring of the Swachh Bharat Mission. 👉A proactive and participatory citizenry, who embraced the concept of 'my waste, my responsibility', and segregated their waste at source, composted their organic waste, and recycled their dry waste. 👉A dedicated and motivated team of sanitation workers, who are called 'safai mitras', and are treated with dignity and respect. They are provided with uniforms, safety gear, health insurance, and social security benefits. 👉A robust and innovative waste management system, which includes door-to-door collection, decentralized processing, scientific disposal, and waste-to-energy conversion. 👉Indore generates zero landfill waste and produces 100 tonnes of organic fertilizer and 50 MW of electricity from its waste every day. 👉A continuous and comprehensive awareness and behavior change campaign, which involves various stakeholders, such as schools, colleges, NGOs, media, celebrities, and religious leaders. ❤️The campaign uses various methods, such as rallies, workshops, competitions, awards, and social media, to educate and motivate the people about the importance and benefits of cleanliness. 👉Indore is not only the cleanest city in India, but also one of the most livable and sustainable cities in the world. It has improved its air quality, water quality, public health, and civic amenities, and has also boosted its tourism, economy, and development. 👉Indore is a shining example of how a city can transform itself with a vision, a mission, and a passion. Indore is a role model for all other cities and towns in India, and I urge everyone to learn from its best practices and replicate them in their own areas. Together, we can make India a clean and green nation. #JaiHind! 👉What do you think? Do you agree that Indore is the cleanest city in India and a role model for others? Do you have any suggestions or feedback on how to improve the cleanliness and waste management in your city or town? Please share your thoughts and comments below.
