Tata Power today said its subsidiary Coastal Gujarat Power Ltd (CGPL) has inaugurated a waste segregation centre under the Rural Solid Waste Management Programme at Tunda village, Gujarat.
Tata Power through its 100 per cent subsidiary, Coastal Gujarat Power Ltd (CGPL), has always been at the forefront towards the improvement of the standard of living for its communities through Rural Solid Waste Management Programme, Tata Power said in a statement.
In line with this commitment, CGPL along with Sahjeevan NGO has installed yet another waste segregation centre at Tunda village, the company said.
The initiative was inaugurated by J V Desai, Deputy Collector, Mundra (Kutch) in the presence of Kirtibhai Rajgor, Community Leader, Tunda village, Digvijayinh Zala, Sarpanch-Tunda Gram Panchayat and all other community members of the Panchayat.
According to the statement, the objective of this initiative is to maximise waste recovery through sustainable use of biodegradable waste, recycling of waste thereby aiming to minimise waste disposal onto dump yards and landfills.
Improper handling of solid waste and indiscriminate disposal in open spaces, tank beds etc, give rise to numerous potential risks to the environment and to human health.
Addressing this issue, CGPL-Tata Power Community Development Trust (TPCDT) has already established 3 segregation centres across villages in proximity.
Commenting on the initiative, K K Sharma, ED and CEO, CGPL, said in statement, "This programme, will bring change in attitudes and behaviors towards importance of managing the waste and create a healthy environment in the community." The Rural Solid Waste Management Programme was launched by CGPL in December 2015 and has already been implemented in 5 villages around CGPL.
