When SVP Bengaluru made waste as one of their focus areas, it laid the foundation for Swaccha Belaku (The Brightness of Swachhata). From finding a resource to making the DPR, till funding it, SVP Bengaluru went all out. During the DPR process, our Lead Partners were generous with their time, and provided valuable inputs. The Chair & Grants Committee were solid in their faith and support for this large, ambitious and “never done before” project. Other partners regularly offered connections to their network, which helped in opening doors. Swaccha Belaku is a collaborative, mutually supportive journey to the STARS.
We have reached the DPR release stage. This DPR will be a blueprint for Bengaluru’s municipality which will help them to create best practices in Solid Waste Management across Bengaluru city.
