Training for Haritha Karma Sena members begins across state  Over 8,000 HKS members of urban bodies to attend three-day training

Thiruvananthapuram, Feb 1: The state-wide training programme on solid waste management for the Haritha Karma Sena (HKS) members of urban local bodies, planned by Kerala Solid Waste Management Project (KSWMP) in collaboration with the Kerala Institute of Local Administration (KILA), began today.

 

More than 8,000 HKS members from all the corporations and municipalities will attend the three-day programme being organised in 113 batches across the state. The programme will cover various topics pertaining to sustainable and scientific waste management like collection, separation, transportation and job generation through recycling and value-addition of waste material.

 

It will also have sessions on adoption of best practices in waste management, health and safety of HKS members, compliance of labour rules, gender equality and hands on training on Harithamithram app.

 

“This first-of-its kind initiative will further strengthen the ongoing efforts to turn our state into a shining model of clean and healthy society,” said Dr Divya S Iyer, KSWMP Project Director.

 

Being implemented by the Local Self Government Department with the World Bank and Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank aid, KSWMP has launched a series of schemes and initiatives reinforced by the Malinya Muktham Nava Keralam campaign, aimed at making Kerala the cleanest state in the country.

 

Promotion of sustainable waste management models with thorough environmental safeguards, supporting eco-friendly alternatives and stringent steps against unscientific waste management practices are the key features of the project.
