It is easy to prepare good manure by converting the organic garbage in homes to compost, said Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat. He said this after a presentation on the subject was made at his residence here on Monday.
He said that people can adopt the simple technique of making compost at home. This will not only help making the best out of waste but will also help which will contribute to the cleanliness campaign. Turning organic waste into compost will also be useful in mitigating air and water pollution, he said.
Rawat said that directions had been issued for segregation of biodegradable and non-biodegradable garbage in all government colonies as part of efforts for ensuring decentralised composting. Officials of the Irrigation department and Waste Warriors organisation demonstrated the method for making compost which turns organic waste into compost in two to three months.
