Q: Hi, I need to know more about the different initiatives that are taken by the cochin corporation for waste management. If anyone knows any news about that in Kochi, please share it with me.
Hey, this was in the news recently only no...I heard that based on a representation by the trust, the LSG Department examined the proposal and held that the project would be implemented subject to the approval of the council of the Kochi Corporation.
hmm..that's true.. the yasoram charitable trust also suggested that a preliminary workshop be arranged for ward councillors and leaders of residents’ associations, with the participation of the local authorities concerned, Trust members and officials of the Agriculture Department.
From what I came to know..The Yasoram Charitable Trust has sought free technical assistance; training to leaders of residents’ associations; information leaflets to the participating households and overall control of project implementation. I think this will be a very good move.
Exactly, as far as I know, in this project, it is proposed for the organic waste utilisation and organic farming in 50,000 houses in six panchayats - Thrikkakara, Kalamassery, Tripunithura and Maradu municipalities and the Kochi Corporation.
Do you know about the objective of this project. My brother is a part of this project. Actually, this is a very good project for farmers as well as those who wish for organic farming. The main objective of the project is to contribute towards attaining self-sufficiency in producing poison-free vegetables.
Oh yeah..what you said is true. the panchayath has given the approval and is waiting for the approval of the councils of the corporation. Actually, the project was mooted by Yasoram Charitable Trust Management trustee A R Vadhyar, for implementation in communities like residents’ associations, through the local bodies.
In the recent new, i think that I saw that the LSG department has granted the approval for organic waste project. This project is actually a very good proposed project for the utilization of the organic wastes and then using them for organic farming project in Kochi.
