West Bengal's Cabinet Minister Dilip Ghosh recently visited Indore, India, to observe and learn from the city's exemplary cleanliness and waste management systems. The one-day delegation comprised officials, an IIT professor, Pollution Control Board representatives, engineers from Kharagpur, and individuals associated with the Swachh Bharat Mission.
Upon arriving in Indore, Ghosh met with Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargav and discussed the evolution of Indore's cleanliness initiatives over the past two decades. He emphasized that Indore has become a benchmark for cleanliness, often being the first name mentioned in such discussions. Ghosh highlighted that the delegation was not only keen on observing street cleaning but also wanted to delve into the comprehensive waste management chain, including garbage collection, segregation, transportation, and processing.
Following their visit to the command and control centre, the team planned to inspect ongoing field operations and waste processing facilities. West Bengal currently lags behind Indore in terms of cleanliness and waste management, acknowledged Ghosh, who stated that while the state already has some systems in place, there is a need for further improvement.
The delegation will study Indore's practices and explore suitable measures that can be phased in gradually in West Bengal.
