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.
