The waste disposal system has
been streamlined here, with
the workers being encouraged
to segregate and dispose of
their garbage on a daily basis.
Biodegradable and non-
biodegradable
waste
is
collected from all over the
estate and kept separately in
designated areas. Non-biodegradable waste is then sold to
a certified vendor who collects the garbage and gives a
certificate attesting to it.
There are three schools on the estate where children are
also educated on the importance of the preservation of
animals, birds and the ecology, besides other important
issues.The Society for Wildlife Conservation has also held
a camp here last November, stressing on this important
aspect. There are two central crèches and one mobile
crèche with experienced attendants who help in taking
care of young children. The Mothers’ Club is very active
and, along with the Mahila Samiti, has stopped the sale
of illicit liquor on the estate. They also inspect the
fortnightly markets held here, to ensure that good quality
produce is being sold to the consumers.Mother and child
care, hygiene, nutrition are other aspects they look into,
for the benefit of the workers. An Adolescent Girls’ Club
has been established in the
year 2015, with an aim to
creating awareness of the
rights of the girl child in the
community by its members.
