Additional deputy commissioner (D) Amit Kumar Panchal and assistant commissioner Harjinder Singh Bedi launched the projects, including solid waste management at ₹6.40 lakh, the establishment of a library at ₹5 lakh, and Neki Da Ghar at ₹12.61 lakh.

MLA Vaid said that under the solid waste management project, compost manure will be prepared from the biodegradable solid waste collected from 21 villages under Dhandra Cluster and be used by the farmers in fields, besides being sold in the market.

He said that turning waste into manure will help ensure cleanliness in the village.

Vaid further informed that under the Neki Da Ghar project, volunteers of self-help groups will prepare reusable cloth bags. These will be distributed free of cost among people in the market to end the menace of single-use plastic bags.

Vaid said the establishment of a library will help inculcate a habit of reading among people, especially school and college-going students.
