The State is making every effort to develop a self-reliant and sustainable waste management system by ramping up the ‘Malinya Muktham Nava Keralam’ campaign to achieve the goal of garbage-free Kerala by next year, Minister for Local Self-Governments M.B. Rajesh has said.
Inaugurating a two-day workshop organised by the Kerala Institute of Local Administration (KILA) as part of the second phase of the campaign here on Friday, he said that it should be ensured that this phase of the campaign reached all sections of people. The aim of this workshop is to plan the second phase meticulously through extensive deliberations. It is also intended to take stock of the achievements and shortcomings of the first phase of the campaign besides planning the future course of action plugging the loopholes wherever necessary.
Although the project is yet to achieve all of its goals, the activities of the first phase have brought in a visible change all through the State within a short span of time, said Mr. Rajesh, inaugurating the workshop through videoconferencing.
