New Delhi [India], February 15: HCL Foundation has launched a groundbreaking initiative, the “My Clean City Waste Champion Program,” under its “My Clean City” initiative to address the critical issue of waste management in collaboration with several schools in Noida and Greater Noida. The Lending Hands Foundation has implemented this transformative initiative across various schools.

Over the course of three months, the initiative successfully engaged more than 4000 students across 10 schools, empowering them to advocate for sustainable waste management practices. Students were motivated to actively engage in waste segregation, recycling drives, and other environmental stewardship initiatives through a series of instructional activities and practical experiences. Twenty benches made from recycled multilayered packaging materials were installed with the help of the waste collected by the students.
