Waste management at source is critical to prevent pollution and deterioration of soil and water. The Foundation has supported Saahas to initially handhold and transition eight gram panchayats in Karnataka into model gram panchayats where waste will be segregated at source and recovered at material recovery facilities (MRFs) for sustainable solid waste management practices. The program is to be scaled to 100 gram panchayats in the two districts of Yadgir and Kalburgi alongwith relevant training and workshops.
