Delhi Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena has praised Navjeevan Vihar's successful zero-waste management model and called for its adoption across the capital.
"The residents of Navjeevan Vihar have successfully adopted a zero-waste model and this initiative should be replicated in other parts of the city for better waste management and environmental sustainability," stated Delhi Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena.
A Success Story Driven by Community
The LG visited Navjeevan Vihar to take stock of the waste management system and commended the active participation of people to keep the area clean. “The colony has shown that it can significantly reduce the load on municipal waste systems through collective efforts,” he said.
Proper Waste Segregation and Recycling
The community residents have implemented scientific methods of trash segregation, segregating biodegradable and non-biodegradable garbage at the source. Organic waste is composted and recyclable materials are collected and recycled in an orderly manner, reducing the reliance on landfill.
