Workshop

Gurgaon First and MCG organised a half-day “Waste Wise” training workshop at Anya Hotel on November 15, 2018. The objective was to increase citizen awareness on waste issues and solutions. Attended by school children and teachers, MCG sanitation staff, and residents — children received “waste champion” badges on Children’s Day. The training covered segregation at source, composting, dry waste channels, and how citizens can hold MCG accountable. This became one of GurgaonFirst’s most popular repeatable programmes.
