Clean KDMC

Clean KDMC Initiative

KDMC ex commissioner Ramnath Sonwane has taken a unique step to launch PM Narendra Modi’s Swacha Bharat Abhiyan. KDMC has become the first civic body in India to launch a mobile app which can be used by citizens to identify garbage, click its real time picture and post the same. The KDMC officials have promised that they will clean up the reported site within 24 hours.

Once citizens post real time pictures of the garbage, the location and the time at which the picture has been taken gets recorded. The system administrator of this app notes the same and will pass on the same to the 40 sanitary inspectors, who will coordinate the cleanup immediately. The report of the same will be posted on the app as a feedback mechanism.

Spread over 67 sq kms, with 12.46 lakh population, KDMC generates 550 metric tonnes of garbage daily, which is cleared by 2,200 sweepers of its solid waste management department. Sonwane is eager to make KDMC streets, public spaces and even residential areas as clean as those in Europe. “We have tested this app with a dry run and we want to demonstrate that it can happen.”

The app has been developed by leading IT entrepreneur Sagar M Pardeshi under his Agency Newsmax Multimedia Pvt Ltd project headed by CTO Ashok S Dongare.
