Cultivating a Sustainable and Vibrant Green Community
The community of Brahma Kumaris headquarters comprises residents and visitors to three large complexes at Mt. Abu and Abu Road:
- Pandav Bhawan, the International Headquarters,
- The Academy for a Better World (Gyan Sarovar), near Mt. Abu, and
- Shantivan Campus at Abu Road.
- Global Hospital
- Trauma Hospital
The institution can accommodate up to 25,000 people at a time, providing lodging and boarding for residential meditational retreats. This community serves as a model for implementing various concepts related to solid waste management, as described below.
The extended community includes also the local residents in the nearby villages, for whom the site provides the source of income and opportunity to build capacity.
In our pursuit of ‘Waste to Well-being,’ we are committed to establishing a culture of social responsibility for cleanliness, laying the foundation for a resilient and empowered community. By implementing proper waste treatment, we aim to eradicate environmental hazards, ensuring the prevention of air and water pollution and contributing to the overall health and well-being of our community.
Our initiative extends beyond the immediate environmental impact, envisioning a community where diseases are mitigated through the creation of a hygienic living environment. The demonstration of ‘Waste to Wealth’ production serves as a beacon of sustainable practices, showcasing the transformative potential of responsible waste management for energy and natural fertilizer production.
In addition to these core principles, our project encompasses:
Community Education Programs
Implementing educational initiatives to raise awareness about waste management, encouraging active participation, and fostering a sense of environmental care among community members.
Inclusive Waste Segregation Practices
Promoting inclusive waste segregation practices to ensure the efficient separation of recyclables, organic waste, and non-recyclables, enhancing the overall effectiveness of our waste management system.
Waste to Health Development:
Investing in green infrastructure projects within the community, such as parks, green spaces to enhance the overall aesthetics and livability of the area.
Waste Reduction Campaigns:
Launching campaigns to reduce overall waste generation through sustainable practices, promoting the use of reusable items, and minimizing single-use plastic within the community.
Local Employment Generation for Tribals:
Recognizing the unique challenges faced by the tribal community in Abu Road, our project is dedicated to creating local employment opportunities for tribals. Through skill-building and meaningful engagement, we aspire to uplift and empower the tribal population, fostering a sustainable and inclusive path towards community development.
Collaborative Partnerships:
Establishing partnerships with local businesses, NGOs, and government agencies to create a collaborative network focused on waste management and community development.
By addressing these additional dimensions, we aim not only to create a cleaner environment and generate employment but also to foster a community that thrives on principles of responsibility, sustainability, and shared prosperity. Join us on this transformative journey as we turn waste into well-being and build a future where our community flourishes in harmony with nature.
