India's Waste Management Success in Goa

Goa's capital, Panjim, has transformed from a notorious landfill into one of India's cleanest cities, highlighting the effectiveness of community efforts in waste management. This change arose after a trash heap collapsed in 2005, which led to public outcry and a reevaluation of waste practices. Through extensive education and the implementation of a garbage segregation system, the city has made significant strides, emphasizing the role children play in instilling these habits at home. However, despite this success, larger cities still struggle with waste management, reflecting a broader challenge across urban India.
