The Hon’ble Governor of Uttarakhand, Lieutenant General Gurmit Singh PVSM, UYSM, AVSM, VSM (Retired) inaugurated a Plastic Bank at the Raj Bhawan (Governor House) in Dehradun, on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti and Swachh Bharat Diwas 2024.
Many senior government officials including Shri RK Sudhanshu, IAS, Principal Secretary - Forest and Environment, Government of Uttarakhand; Dr Dhananjai Mohan, IFS and Head of Forest Force, Government of Uttarakhand and Dr Parag Dhakate, IFS and Member Secretary, Uttarakhand Pollution Control Board were present during the program apart from many other officials and various other stakeholders.
With all the humility, we would like to add that the establishment of our 211th Plastic Bank at the Raj Bhawan in Dehradun is testament to the impact the project is creating at a local level. We hope that with the further engagement of the Government of Uttarakhand in the Plastic Bank Project, we will hopefully be in a position where we will be able to create a larger impact through this community driven, environment and societal initiative.
As of today, we are associated with close to 90,000 people largely in Dehradun through the network of Plastic Banks spread across many Maggi Points on the Dehradun-Kimadi-Mussoorie route, schools, hostels, universities, showrooms, RWAs, government offices and several other locations.
Finally, we are extremely grateful to Airbus India for all the support in the implementation of the Plastic Bank project in Dehradun and in our state of Uttarakhand. This initiative has only been made possible due to their generous support and collaboration.
