Union Rural Development Ministry recently has sent instructions to all the state and union territory governments to study and implement the Bengal model.
TMC Government in West Bengal has used the 100 Days’ Work Scheme (NREGA) for garbage disposal by the Panchayats.
The solid waste management system that the panchayats have implemented is both health-friendly and environment-friendly.
West Bengal has also been acknowledged by the Centre as being the best in implementing the 100 Days’ Work Scheme.
