The enriching and refreshing natural beauty, the nostalgic rural sceneries and soothing climatic condition of Idukki attract many tourists to this God gifted place and the possibilities of tourism in this district are immensely wide. But the tourism department and other local governing bodies face many challenges and waste management is a prominent issue among them. We could see heaps of waste mat
erials in every tourist spot, public place and even at the road sides. It is a naked truth that there is no systematic and continuous waste management process exist in the district and it is very important to begin an effective waste management system, which won’t create any disturbance to the public and destruction to the nature. The Ex Service Men Trust is ready to take dedicated initiative and venture in to the field of systematic and scientific waste management with the support of state and local governments and the tourism department. The Trust took sufficient time to study the different process involved in scientific waste management of different waste materials and acquired a through knowledge about it. And it has a clear plan for the collection and disposal of all kinds of waste materials. So the trust is confident to undertake and establish a completely scientific waste management unit with the support of governing bodies of different departments.
