Keonjhar: The Keonjhargarh Municipality has got recognition from NITI Aayog in best practices in “Municipal Solid Waste Management” in the category of technological innovation.
The district administration in a release stated that in order to make Keonjhar town garbage-free and promote source segregation with the help of women’s self-help groups (SHGs), the municipality took several innovative technological measures. It not only helped improve the waste management system but also provided livelihood support to the SHGs.
With GPS-enabled vehicles, the municipality monitored the transportation and segregation of waste collected from different parts of the town. It also put details of fees and fines collected and the finances of micro-composting centres and material recovery facilities on a publicly accessible mobile-based app ‘Ama Sahara’ for transparency.
The municipality also monitors littering and imposes penalties through CCTV cameras installed at public places. It has achieved 100% source segregation and processing with no garbage-vulnerable points due to technological and policy-related interventions.
