Ambikapur

From overflowing landfills to India's cleanest small city, Ambikapur’s innovative waste management model is a game-changer in sustainability.

Now, crush plastic bottles at railway stations to recharge your phone. Pay for a meal with a bag of plastic waste. And fund your schooling by fighting pollution!

Persons fetching 1 kg plastic waste will be offered a full meal while those collecting 500 gms waste will get a substantial breakfast. And the collected plastic will be used to construct roads. Brilliant!

The women were trained by C Srinivasan, an environmentalist, who has been sharing his ideas of making the best use of waste on esteemed platforms like Satyamev Jayate and TEDx.
