SBM-G, Jammu and Kashmir

On #ZeroWasteDay, let’s reaffirm our commitment to a cleaner India through #SBMG. Through interventions like adopting composting at household and community levels, having #GOBARdhan community plants, effective Plastic Waste Management and recycling we turn waste into wealth. #SBM

One such example is #Krimachi #Udhampur where a Biogas plant was made functional in Feb 2026. The plant has been transforming locally available cattle dung into clean cooking energy while also improving sanitation and waste management. #SBMG @MoJSDDWS sbmgjk.blogspot.com/2026/03/with-v…

While doing so, they use dissolved oxygen (O₂) in the water. Key idea: High BOD → More waste → More oxygen used → ✔ Less oxygen for aquatic life ✔ More pollution Low BOD → Less waste → Less oxygen used → ✔ Cleaner water ✔ Healthier aquatic ecosystem. 2/2 @malhotra_anoo

BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) measures how much oxygen bacteria need to break down organic waste in water. How it works: - Wastewater contains biodegradable matter (food scraps, oils, human waste). - Bacteria consume this waste. 1/2

#WorldWaterDay Water is not just a resource, it is life itself. Let’s move beyond awareness to action. Conserve every drop, respect every source, and rethink how we use water in our daily lives. The water we save today is the life we secure for tomorrow.

of dumping waste in water bodies. Strict penalties will be imposed on violators as per relevant provisions. Protecting our wetlands like #Hokersar is a shared responsibility. Small acts of care today will ensure a healthier environment for future generations. 3/3 #SBMG

Sanitation team promptly cleared the accumulated waste, restoring the site. Further steps have also been taken to prevent recurrence, including regular monitoring, installation of warning signboards, and awareness among local residents about the environmental consequences 2/3

Following a report highlighting waste dumping in the Hokersar water body, immediate action was taken following a field visit to the site in #Soibugh Block. It was found that waste had been dumped at certain locations near the wetland. 1/3

#DEWATS system at Marh Jammu is nearing completion, marking another step towards sustainable sanitation & wastewater management in rural areas. Such treatment systems not only protect local water bodies but also promote environmentally responsible infrastructure under #SBMG

Work on the #DEWATS (Decentralized Wastewater Treatment System) is currently in progress at Peth Kanihama, Block S.K. Pora, District #Budgam. The project will strengthen rural sanitation infrastructure/sustainable wastewater management in the area. #SBMG @MoJSDDWS @dicbudgam

Secy #RDDPR Mohammad Aijaz Asad chaired a review meeting in Srinagar to finalise the framework for O&M of sanitation assets & Faecal Sludge & Septage Management under #SBMG. Emphasis laid on decentralised execution,digital monitoring, financial sustainability and scientific waste

The GOBARDhan model is not just about sanitation, it is about empowering rural communities, improving livelihoods, and building a circular economy at the village level. 3/3 #GOBARDhan #SBMG #CircularEconomy #ODFPlus #Ganderbal @jkrddpr @MoJSDDWS
