We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.-- Jesse Owens

Dwarka Forum also have a dream for clean and green dwarka. It's continious effort through email, letters, meetings, workshop suggestions etc etc to mayor, deputy mayor, commissioner-sdmc, deputy commissioner-sdmc finally bought some ground results. After so many workshop in different societies people started doing segregation and composting. 
 

Seeing the sweeping condition of road, DF suggested deputy commissioner for scheduled sweeping which he agreed and weekly schedule has been provided to sdmc staff. DF team supervise their work everyday which includes road sweeping and garbage collection. Results are worth appreciating. This is just a begining...have to go long way. Residents of area started coming out, watchful and took initiative.

Dwarka Forum appreciate and thankful to Deputy Commissioner Sh Sanjeev ji's for his whole hearted cooperation. He not only use to do surprise visit to dwarka but also take updates on progress.

We hope our joint efforts brings much more good results in near future only things is needed bit supervision and more connectivity with ground staff.

Community composting: Low on cost, High on delivery

This is called aerobic composting which is very reasonable in term of cost and workmanship. Through this method, I believe that all the problems surrounding your wet and garden waste can be solved using steel mesh rings with stand and some gunny sacks.

All simple and efficient things evolve with time and effort. It’s neither vendor-driven, nor machine-driven. This method exploits the traditional method of composting to the hilt but customises it perfectly to suit individual needs. While the infrastructure comes at a few thousand rupees, a few hundred rupees is all you spend each month to keep it running. Segregated kitchen waste is collected at the doorstep by a housekeeper in a pushcart. He carries a sack of sawdust in the cart and sprinkles a handful of it on the kitchen waste.

This cuts down the moisture problem significantly. This half-processed waste reaches a roofed compost yard located in a corner. The worker spreads a thick layer of (at least 8-10 inches) dry leaves at the bottom and puts kitchen waste on top of it. This absorbs all the moisture content seeping down from the top layers efficiently. The top portion is always filled with dry leaves to ward off fruit flies, odor, mosquitoes and of course, rodents.
Composting time can be reduced by using activator like butter milk, curd, jaggery etc.

In continuation of Dwarka Forum meeting, Ekta Apartment,DDA SFS,Pocket 1&2, Sector 3,Dwarka gets it first cage from SDMC as a pilot project.

 Thanks team SDMC Najafgarh zone for their support and we are hopefull that in near future problem of horticulture and kitchen waste will be controlled by this small effort.
