GHMC to conduct essay competition on waste segregation
As evident in our daily lives, Municipal solid waste management MSWM is very critical element for sustainable development of the city, comprising of segregation, storage, collection, processing, and disposal of waste
Hyderabad: As evident in our daily lives, Municipal solid waste management (MSWM) is very critical element for sustainable development of the city, comprising of segregation, storage, collection, processing, and disposal of waste.
The simplest way to solve this problem is through practicing proper on-site segregation of waste through clearly-marked containers for different kinds of waste (Wet & Dry). GHMC believes in inculcating this habit of source segregation at childhood stage which in turn may drive them to become a responsible and environment conscious youth later.
In view of promoting this practice in children, GHMC plans to conduct essay writing competition in schools in GHMC limits on the topic of “Importance of waste segregation at source”. This activity aims to create awareness among school students on importance of source segregation of waste and the benefits of it in saving resources and the environment. Students are encouraged to participate in the competition which can be submitted in English, Telugu or Urdu as per the medium of the school. The competitions will be held at school level (Will be conducted by schools in their premises) on or before 30 July. GHMC will felicitate the best essays among them, on 7th of August.
