Sustained efforts to ensure cleanliness helped convert the garbage dumping ground into a decentralized solid waste management unit in Hardoi district.
It all started with the launch Swacchhagrah The project, sponsored by DCM-Shriram Foundation and implemented by dead society, in Hardoi. The head of the civic body of the district expressed interest in the project and two areas, ward numbers 21 and 5, were selected. With all necessary permissions in place, the basic requirement was to select a location in Ward 21 where the Decentralized Solid Waste Management (DSWM) unit could be set up.
Ward 21 falls prominently where the residence of the District Magistrate, the office of the Municipal Board and the offices of major political parties are located.
finish The team identified a piece of land near the municipality office for the DSWM, which was being used for dumping garbage and parking vehicles.
Initially, the Finnish Society faced stiff resistance from shopkeepers and residents. Shopkeepers feared that the foul smell of manure and garbage from the unit would be a major problem for them. The project manager of the Finnish Society, Vivek Singh, assured the stakeholders that scientific techniques of waste management would be used in the unit, after which the shopkeepers agreed. The DSWM unit was inaugurated on October 2, 2022 by CDO Akanksha Rana and a clean India A rally was organized on this occasion. So far, the unit has extracted 10 tonnes of waste from which 1500 kg of compost has been prepared.
