BENGALURU: The Karnataka government has decided to walk the talk with regard to 'Cleanliness is next to Godliness': 25 A-Grade temples will be declared Zero Waste in the next five months.
Taken up under the Swachh Mandira Abhiyana banner, this concept envisages setting up waste processing plants inside temple premises and converting 'nairmalya' (waste) generated by temples every day into compost instead of sending it to landfills. Karnataka will be the first state to roll out the concept on such a large scale.
