In a city where waste management often falls short, the rising waste mountains serve as a stark reminder of the challenges we face. Amidst this backdrop, Navjivan Vihar emerges as a beacon of hope, showcasing what a community can achieve when it comes together with a common goal. This colony isn’t just focused on reducing its own waste but is also actively spreading awareness about the benefits of biodegradable products and sustainable living. Their commitment to environmental stewardship has made them one of Delhi’s first zero-waste colonies, setting a powerful example for others to follow.
Navjivan Vihar’s success lies in its effective model of waste segregation and composting. With more than 200 households and it’s residents, the colony has adopted a ‘100 percent waste management at source’ approach. They began by educating residents about the importance of waste segregation and encouraged them to practice it right in their homes. All wet waste is composted, keeping it out of landfills, while partnerships with local NGOs and recyclers ensure that other waste materials are either reused or recycled. From creating graffiti to raise awareness about water conservation to promoting the use of cloth bags and terrace gardening, the residents of Navjivan Vihar are leading the charge in sustainable living, proving that every small action can make a big difference.
