New Delhi, Sept. 23 -- The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) on Wednesday felicitated seven sanitation workers for producing 13,000 kg of organic compost from wet and horticultural waste over the past year and honoured 15 artists for creating traditional and contemporary Indian murals across the city.
NDMC Chairman Manoj Kumar Dwivedi felicitated the sanitation staff at Palika Kendra and lauded their contribution to decentralised waste processing. The compost was produced at the facility on Madhu Limaye Marg, Chanakyapuri, using biodegradable waste generated within the NDMC area.
Dwivedi said the initiative demonstrated the potential of converting waste into a resource and called for the model at Anupam Colony to be replicated at other locations. The council said decentralised processing could reduce the transportation of green waste and facilitate its use as organic manure for landscaping and greenery. The initiative is part of NDMC's "Waste to Wealth" and "Waste to Greenery" approach and its stated goal of achieving zero waste to landfill through source segregation and resource recovery.
Separately, the Chairman felicitated 15 artists who participated in a seven-day workshop held from September 17 to 23 under the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan. Artists from Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Haryana created murals at five locations around Connaught Place and Panchkuian Road.
The murals, covering around 4,200 sq ft, combine traditional Indian artistic forms with contemporary approaches. The project, themed around art, heritage, culture and the vision of Viksit Bharat @2047, aims to beautify public spaces while showcasing India's cultural
heritage and contemporary aspirations.
