The Tata Trusts on Monday launched its ‘Karenge to Hoga’ campaign in Tunga village, Sakinaka. The campaign aims to create awareness and train families in waste segregation. Tata Trusts will be distributing bins for waste segregation in the area.
Under the ‘Karenge to Hoga’ campaign, groups of up to five local youths will be created and trained in educating, mobilising and monitoring households in their area.
Each team will be responsible for 150 families. The campaign aims to cover 5,000 families in the next two months. The project is part of Tata Trusts’s larger Mission Garima, an initiative that works for the dignity of human scavengers.
Honey Bajaj, program officer for Tata Trusts, said, “During our work, we find so many educated people don’t know the difference between wet and dry waste. That’s why we decided to start from the basics. We want to see if segregation and composting can be made into a way of life.”
