Bhubaneswar: Here is another initiative by the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) to deal with plastic waste. Beginning Monday, the civic body will give one square meal in exchange for 500 gm of plastic waste. The programme will take off at an Aahar centre near Kalpana Square.
The initiative will be carried out by the BMC in collaboration with United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Touch Stone Foundation. It will begin in other city centres of the state in phases.
The Aahar scheme was launched in Bhubaneswar and later in urban centers to provide subsidized cooked meal to urban poor. They are being set up near bus stops, railway stations and hospitals to benefit the floating population.
A similar initiative had been taken by Kotpad NAC more than a month ago. The only difference was that one had to give a kilogram of plastic waste for a meal.
