SDC Foundation organized a 'Plastic Parc Charcha' Event under the Plastic Bank Project on May 17th, 2024 at Mount Café Maggi Point, Kimadi, Dehradun. The program saw participation from 11 Maggi Point operators. During the program, SDC Founder Anoop Nautiyal, provided detailed information about the Plastic Bank Project.
The program was graced by the presence of Mr. Sobhan Pundir, the village head of Gram Panchayat in Kimadi. He shared detailed information about his Gram Panchayat and appreciated the concept of the Plastic Bank Project. He expressed his thoughts on establishing Plastic Banks in Gram Panchayat Kimadi and Gram Panchayat Galjwadi and emphasized the importance of awareness programs and discussions on plastic.
Mr. Sanjay Pundir, a Maggi Point operator, also shared his thoughts and experiences. He mentioned that they used to burn plastic waste previously, but since the inception of the Plastic Bank Project, they have stopped burning plastic waste and now hand it over to SDC Foundation for recycling.
All the Maggi Point operators praised the services provided by SDC Foundation under the Plastic Bank Project. Everyone found it appropriate that a vehicle comes once a week on the specified route for plastic collection. There should also be an effort to involve other Maggi Points that have not yet joined the Plastic Bank Project in this initiative.
To expand the scope of the Plastic Bank Project, ward members, Anganwadi workers, and ASHA workers should also be involved in this campaign.
