Garbage Management Committee

“Garbage collection in these areas will follow a door-to-door model. The panchayats have set up Dry Waste collection Centers. In villages though, there was a time when people would turn their waste into natural fertilizer for their gardens. But now, the plastic menace has crept into villages too, so it will take a few years for the move to become a reality

The Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (RDPR) department has implemented the same at the Panchayat level. There are 6,024 gram panchayats across 30 districts in the state. While some dump waste outside their village, others throw it by the roadside, and some even use it in their farms. Now, the department is keen on tackling the garbage menace in villages in a big way.
