India, Dec. 1 -- The Government of India has issued a release:
Moradabad, a city in Uttar Pradesh known globally as the " Brass City , " is setting an example for the nation and the state with its vision of urban transformation. Moradabad is experiencing many transformations that are propelling the city toward a better future. The country's first Waste Awareness Center , the Gautam Buddha Waste Management Education Center, has been developed in this very city. This unique and inspiring initiative by the Moradabad Municipal Corporation is not only a modern center for environmental education , but also a living laboratory that fosters the belief that future generations must step forward to fulfill their responsibility toward cleanliness and sustainable development. Technology, creativity, and public education combine to create a space where waste management becomes a solution, not a problem .
Located in the Buddha Vihar area of Moradabad, this awareness center spans 1,200 square meters and is specifically designed to provide accessible information on the environment and city waste management to school students , citizens, and tourists. The center utilizes cutting-edge technology , interactive displays , audio-visual experiences, and engaging showcases to explain complex topics like waste management , recycling, and resource conservation in a simple , impactful, and engaging manner. The center is divided into six key areas , covering the entire process from resource awareness to citizen participation in a sustainable future.
The Moradabad Municipal Corporation not only developed this project from a technical standpoint , but also tailored it to the city's needs and local problems. This awareness center highlights the importance of natural resources , the problems caused by increasing waste , local challenges in Moradabad such as waste generated by the brass industry , and the municipal corporation's sanitation plans. Exposure to these challenges is empowering citizens to adopt new innovations and take a cleanliness pledge. The Moradabad Municipal Corporation has also proven that, with the will, even legacy waste can be transformed into new opportunities. In this regard, the city has successfully processed 5.8 lakh metric tons of legacy waste , reusing approximately 20 acres of land. This land is now being used for a sanitary landfill , a construction and demolition waste processing plant, and tree plantations using the Japanese Miyawaki technique. Moradabad is becoming a role model for sustainable waste management in the country.
The experience at this education center is not only informative but also strengthens the sense of responsibility and participation among citizens. The Gautam Buddha Waste Awareness and Education Center, Moradabad, sends a powerful message-that cleanliness is not just a government scheme , but the individual and collective responsibility of every citizen. This center is not only visible but also palpable. It doesn't just talk about making the city clean , but also makes citizens partners in that process. This initiative is definitely a strong step towards establishing Moradabad among the most aware , responsible, and sustainable cities in the country.
