Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Wednesday urged young people’s representatives from local bodies across the State to play a role in ensuring the successful implementation of the various government campaigns including the one to make the State waste-free.
He was speaking at the valedictory function of the Yuvashakthi training programme for young people’s representatives from local bodies.
“Youth have voluntarily played a crucial role whenever the State needed them, be it after the floods or after the COVID-19 outbreak. It is a testimony to their leadership skills that various parties have fielded them as candidates and the people have voted them to victory. All of them have a key role to play in changing the mindset of the people, especially with regard to waste management. Many people are still against scientific waste treatment plants, although it has been proved that they do not cause any harm to the surroundings,” he said.
