The company will study the current waste disposal status and
practices, undertake capacity building of panchayats of the identified
villages, sanitation committee and their stakeholders, raise awareness
and change perceptions, promote collection and segregation of waste, and
establish linkages with different stakeholders for better and
productive usage of generated waste.
The company has already implemented the programme in the four
identified villages, namely Tunda-Vandh, Motakandagara, Nanabhadiya and
Tragadi.
CGPL CEO & ED K.K. Sharma said, “The overall impact of the
long-term interventions will have strong impact on the lives of the
locals and will help them in building a cleaner future.”
The company has over the year worked along with local panchayats and
other administrative bodies to ensure a better and cleaner surrounding
for the population in its areas of operations. It is doing this through
the construction of waste segregation centres.
