1,900 households registered under Digital Haritha Karma Sena
Heal Ponnurunni Society (HPS) in the Ponnurunni East division of the Kochi Corporation, which has emerged as a model in sustainable waste management since its inception in December 2023, has set a new benchmark in QR code-based user fee collection for doorstep waste collection by the Haritha Karma Sena. A total of 1,828 households have been registered across the division. In May alone, ₹1.98 lakh was collected as user fees under the Digital Heal Haritha Karma Sena initiative, while the total collection since the launch of the project stands at ₹38.67 lakh. Outstanding dues amount to ₹6.58 lakh. The QR code-based user fee system has been integrated into Kochi Corporation's multi-purpose app, My Kochi. 'Ours is perhaps the only division in the State where QR code-based user fee collection has been fully implemented. Elsewhere, scanning the QR code only reveals whether a household is giving its waste to Haritha Karma Sena or not. In our case, multiple households in the same multi-storeyed buildings have been brought under the QR system using separate building numbers issued by the Corporation,' said Dipin Dileep, division councillor. The waste collected is scientifically and hygienically converted into organic manure, without leaving any room for residents to complain about issues such as foul odour. Two months ago, HPS began marketing its organic manure under the brand name Heal Environment. The enriched manure is sold at ₹30 per kilogram and the raw manure form at ₹20 per kilogram through a small outlet near the Vyttila flyover. The product has received a positive response, with repeat customers generating ₹31,726 in sales during the period. 'We are also engaged in organic farming using our own manure on vacant plots, based on agreements with the landowners. Currently, we are cultivating vegetables on 76 cents spread across four such plots in the division. The produce is sold under the brand Heal Harvest, which has brought in ₹57,158 so far, along with ₹12,481 from the sale of grow bags. The initiative also addresses complaints about vacant plots turning into dumping yards,' Mr. Dileep added. The Kochi Corporation has also granted HPS permission to collect waste from small establishments that are not classified as bulk waste generators. The income from these initiatives helps HPS cover its operational expenses, including staff wages.

Feminist Forum urges M.A. Baby to withdraw remark supporting Dileep film
The Kerala Feminist Forum has demanded that CPI(M) general secretary M.A. Baby withdraw his statement in support of the Dileep-starrer Prince and Family. Mr. Baby had reportedly praised the movie, calling it a watchable family flick with a social message. In a statement issued on Monday (May 26), the forum said that the women in Kerala and the feminist organisations in the State were alarmed at the remark in support of Mr. Dileep, an accused in the actor assault case. The final hearing in the case is still going on in the trial court. The forum's functionaries said that at a time when the activities of organisations such as the Women in Cinema Collective and the Hema Committee report had made notable impacts on society, it was condemnable that the national leader of the ruling party in Kerala was coming out in support of Mr. Dileep. They claimed that it was akin to extending support to the accused in the sexual assault case. The forum demanded that Mr. Baby withdraw his statement, or else street protests would be organised to uphold the rights of women. The signatories include activists K. Ajitha, V.P. Zuhara, Aleyamma Vijayan and A.K. Jayasree.
