Capacity Building for Clean Cities: Pulwama’s Step Toward Sustainable Waste Practices

June 13th marked a meaningful step forward in the journey toward cleaner, greener cities in Kashmir. A Capacity Building Training Program was successfully held at the Town Hall, Municipal Council Pulwama, bringing together sanitation staff from all five Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) of the district under one roof.

The session wasn’t just about training it was about transformation. Ground-level workers, who are the backbone of urban sanitation, actively participated and engaged in discussions around crucial topics like source segregation of waste, the correct usage of the four-bin system and practical strategies to reduce plastic pollution in our everyday lives. A major focus was placed on eliminating single-use plastics an issue that continues to choke our drains, spoil our landscapes and harm our environment.

The session was led by Tabraiz Madani, Capacity Building Expert from Swaaha Resource Management, who delivered practical insights and field-based solutions with clarity and conviction. His interactive approach helped sanitation workers connect deeply with the topics, turning everyday practices into impactful actions.

Overseeing the programme was Mr. Sanjay Vyas, the Project Head, whose presence ensured seamless coordination and reinforced the importance of strong leadership in driving sanitation reforms. His constant involvement from planning to on-ground execution highlighted the essential role of guidance and vision in the success of such initiatives.

As the participants left the hall that day, they didn’t just carry training material they carried a renewed sense of purpose. Pulwama’s training is a strong reminder that when we invest in people, we build stronger systems. And in the fight for a cleaner future, our sanitation workers are not just frontline staff they are the changemakers.
