Suchana Patnaik, President, PFWS, inaugurated this pilot project in the presence of Sh. Madhusudhan, Senior Consultant, ESREE foundation and senior members of PFWS. Sh. Madhusudhan introduced and explained the project. Members of ESREE Foundation sensitized the residents about the benefits of segregation of waste and how to make compost out of Kitchen waste with the help of Nukkad Natak and talks. They emphasized the crucial issue of post-consumer waste management and proper segregation and recycling of waste. With the continuous efforts of the ESREE team and our team leaders and welfare staff, more and more families are getting involved in the process. PFWS is committed to implementing this initiative in other Police Colonies in the coming months. ‘Be a part of the solution, not a part of the pollution’.
