With the growing focus on sustainable living and waste reduction, the Badamibagh Cantonment Board organised a Capacity Building Programme on 8th November 2025 at the Cantonment Board Public School, Sonwar. The programme was aimed at empowering the local community, sanitation workforce and resident groups to work hand in hand for a cleaner and greener Badamibagh. The event brought together a diverse and dedicated group of participants Sanitary Inspectors, Supervisors, Sanitary Staff, RWAs, Ward Presidents, Teachers and Local Residents. Everyone shared one common goal: to strengthen community participation in sustainable waste management and improve cleanliness in their surroundings.

The session was conducted by Mr. Tabraiz Madani, a Capacity Building Expert and resource person for the programme. In his engaging and interactive talk, Mr. Madani emphasized that true cleanliness begins at home with segregation of waste at source. He explained that when households separate wet and dry waste before disposal, it not only helps sanitation teams manage waste more efficiently but also reduces the overall burden on landfills.

He further highlighted the importance of door-to-door waste collection, encouraging residents to cooperate with sanitation workers by ensuring timely and proper handover of segregated waste. Drawing attention to the rising threat of single-use plastic, Mr. Madani urged the community to make conscious choices to avoid disposable plastics and shift towards sustainable, biodegradable alternatives in daily life. One of the key discussions of the day revolved around the role of RRR Centres (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). Mr. Madani explained how these centres form the backbone of circular waste management by diverting reusable and recyclable materials away from dumpsites. Participants were shown how simple household habits such as reusing old containers, repairing instead of discarding, and donating usable items can contribute to waste reduction in a big way.

What truly stood out was the active involvement of the participants. Local residents spoke about the need for stronger awareness at the household level, while sanitation workers shared their on-ground experiences and challenges. Teachers discussed how schools could serve as ambassadors of cleanliness by involving students in eco-club activities and zero-waste campus drives. The session evolved into a lively dialogue, filled with practical suggestions and shared experiences.

By the end of the programme, there was a clear sense of unity and responsibility among all present. Together, the participants pledged their support to the Cantonment Board’s mission of creating a cleaner, greener and healthier Badamibagh. The Board members expressed gratitude to the community for their proactive approach and assured continued guidance, technical support, and awareness activities in the days ahead.

This initiative by the Badamibagh Cantonment Board was not just a training session it became a community movement in itself. It reminded everyone that cleanliness is not the sole duty of the authorities but a shared responsibility. When citizens, officials, and sanitation workers come together with a sense of purpose, the journey toward a sustainable and beautiful Badamibagh becomes not just possible, but inevitable.
