To give momentum to Poshan Maah
under India’s flagship programme of Poshan Abhiyaan, the NCC Girls Cadets of
Government Home Science College conducted an awareness campaign cum
demonstration drive regarding composting of Kitchen waste at Dainik Bhaskar Colony
of Sector-25-D, Chandigarh. The drive is in sync with addressing the key areas
of the Poshan Maah to spread awareness regarding Sanitation and hygiene in
every nook and corner of the society and to promote healthy cooking practices
among masses. The effervescent team of NCC gave a demonstration to the
community women on ‘How to use Kitchen Waste to prepare Organic Compost’ to
meet the goal for sanitation and hygiene at the household level. The viewers
were excited and curious to know how it happened. They were provided with
Plastic bins and Microbial powder to use their kitchen waste. They were also
informed that they can use the compost in their gardens and can also become
entrepreneurs by selling compost. Principal
of the college, Prof. Sudha Katyal, encouraged the efforts of the NCC Cadets
and provided them plastic bins which convert the peels of vegetables, fruits
and left over food into organic manure with the help of microbial powder.
