New Odisha govt initiative to identify, preserve heritage sites in rural areas
Last Updated: Berhampur, Aug 2 (PTI) The Odisha government has launched an initiative to identify, preserve and promote heritage sites and artifacts in rural areas, officials said. The data collected through the 'Panchayat Dharohar' programme with the involvement of elected members of the panchayats will be uploaded on the 'Mera Gaon Meri Dharohar' platform of the Ministry of Culture for future development, they said. Odisha has around 6,800 gram panchayats. The panchayats can play a major role in the identification, documentation, sustainable conservation and promotion of heritage sites, a recent letter issued by the Department of Panchayat Raj to district collectors said. 'We have received data of around 20 sites so far and expect to receive more in the next few days," said Prahallad Pradhan, District Panchayat Officer (DPO) of Ganjam. There are 503 panchayats in the district. 'Several heritage sites exist in rural areas of the culturally rich Ganjam district. There is a need to urgently identify those for their development. We thank the government for this initiative," said Subash Chandra Padhy, a retired professor at Berhampur University. Manoranjan Gouda, sarpanch of the Kaithakhandi panchayat in Digapahandi block, said they have already identified several such sites. 'We have discussed the matter with other village heads and urged them to accord this exercise high priority. The heritage sites are the pride of the district," said Gouda, who is also the president of the Ganjam Sarpanch Association.

Cleaner Cities Start At Home: 5 Simple Waste Segregation Habits That Matter
Last Updated: Like building wealth, sustainability thrives on small, consistent action. A single house using a three-bin system for a year can divert over half a tonne of waste from landfills. Every year, World Environment Day serves as a calendar nudge, like a Facebook birthday reminder, to momentarily reflect on our planet before slipping back into business as usual. But this year's theme, plastic pollution, isn't something we can afford to forget. Our landfills, much like unpaid credit card bills, are quietly collecting interest, now in the form of microplastics found in our water, food, and even air. According to the Scaling Our Waste Mountains Report (Godrej Consumer Products & Dasra, 2023), a staggering 70–80% of urban waste in India is unsegregated, meaning most of it can't be recycled and ends up in landfills. This also puts millions of waste workers at risk, exposing them to hazardous waste without protection. The good news? A major part of the solution begins right at home. 1. Use the Three-Bin Method 2. Compost Your Kitchen Waste Food waste makes up over half of an urban Indian dustbin. When dumped, it releases methane and pollutes groundwater. But composting transforms it into nutrient-rich fertiliser for your garden or terrace farm. 3. Rinse Before You Recycle Dry waste like paper and plastic holds value, but only if it's clean and uncontaminated. A quick rinse of plastic containers ensures higher resale and recovery rates. Dirty recyclables, on the other hand, end up in landfills. Consider it the environmental equivalent of pruning underperforming assets from your investment portfolio. 4. Don't Mix Your Waste Portfolio When you mix waste, you destroy its value. It disrupts processing, increases landfill load, and puts over three million informal workers, many without gloves or safety gear, at health risk. Mixed waste isn't just a processing issue; it's an ethical one. 5. Support the People Behind the Process India's informal waste-pickers recover up to 30% of all recyclables, yet lack formal recognition or resources. Cities like Pune, through the SWaCH model, have shown that integrating these workers improves both waste recovery and livelihoods. Supporting local collection drives and cooperative models is a direct investment in environmental and social equity. view comments First Published: August 02, 2025, 12:43 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
