Jamshedpur: As part of the Swachhta Hi Seva Fortnight under Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban) 2.0, a special program focusing on “Waste to Wealth” was organized at the Jugsalai Nagar Parishad office premises on Saturday. The fortnight, which began on September 17, will continue till Swachh Bharat Diwas on October 2.
The exhibition featured creative displays under themes such as Waste to Art, Innovation and Best Practices, Kabadr se Jugad, and SHG stalls.
