Haryana's Bold Move: Transforming Waste into Energy

In a decisive move towards transforming sanitation, Haryana's Chief Minister, Nayab Singh Saini, held a high-profile meeting to assess the state's cleanliness initiatives. The focus was on advancing sanitation in both urban and rural areas and innovating the solid waste management system.

At the core of the discussions was the development of waste-to-energy plants in Faridabad, Manesar, and Gurugram. These plants, expected to be operational within two years, aim to turn daily waste into electricity, supplementing the state's energy needs and reducing dependency on coal and petroleum.

Public awareness campaigns and improved waste segregation were emphasized as vital components of the Haryana Shehar Swachhata Abhiyan-2025, aligning sanitation efforts with social responsibility. The initiative calls for comprehensive waste management and environmental cleanliness, involving every citizen in making Haryana a cleaner state.
