Compost from Waste

Telangana's Mukhra K village has emerged to be a model for gram panchayats across India. Behind this award-winning model is its sarpanch Gadge Meenakshi. She shares how she transformed the village.

Deepak Kushwaha, a terrace garden expert from Madhya Pradesh, shares a step-by-step procedure to put together compost using waste potato peels.

The members have installed a compost machine, and today, most of the wet waste generated is transformed into compost and used on the gymkhana's cricket field. They supply the surplus to the BMC and neighbouring societies.

Over 600 tonnes of segregated wet waste, which was collected in the city, was processed into a whopping 4,306 tonnes of organic compost that was met with a great demand by the farmers.
