Aviral is a pilot project that aims to reduce the amount of plastic waste entering the Ganga in the two holy cities of Haridwar and Rishikesh
As these cities grow bigger every year, there’s an equally bigger challenge. Haridwar and Rishikesh struggle to manage the amount of plastic waste generated by the city’s growing population which intensifies by the millions of visitors and devotees every year. The initiative, powered by the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and implemented by GIZ, in cooperation with Saahas NGO and Waste Warriors Society, is working with the Municipal Corporations of these two cities to adopt a sustainable approach to plastic waste management.
