Uttar Pradesh Villages Build 75 km of Roads Using Plastic Waste Under Waste Management Plan

In Uttar Pradesh's Lucknow, Rampur, Amethi, Lalitpur, and Etah districts, approximately 75 km of roads have been constructed using plastic waste as part of a state-led initiative to promote environmental sustainability and rural development. The Panchayati Raj Department, following Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's directives, has implemented a waste management master plan featuring door-to-door waste collection and vermicompost production. These efforts have generated over Rs 3 crore in income and aim to empower gram panchayats through the 'Waste to Wealth' model under the Swachh Gaon Maha Abhiyan campaign.
