The Advance Locality Management prog (ALM) is Good move for clean safe and green soceity These ALMs work on various Eco- friendly issues in their own areas and come with innovation to support MCGM. Partnership for effective urban Management.To improve the delivery of services, people’s participation was of utmost importance.Understanding the issue, the residents decided to collectively apply the principle of thre ‘R’s, ‘reduce-reuse-recycle’ along with segregation of waste at the source. Citizens formed a ‘Street Committee’ and maintained vigilance to prevent littering. Rag pickers were engaged in this scheme, for door-to-door waste collection and speedy removal of segregated waste. The Street Committee approached the MCGM and formalized the partnership wherein the ‘Street Committee’ would ensure the three ‘R’s and waste segregation, whereas the MCGM would carry out street cleaning, regular pick-uo of the garbage collection, and disposal. The scheme was then adopted by surrounding lanes voluntarily.MCGM for implementation in Mumbai city. The ALM movement that started with the objective of cleanliness (Zero Garbage’) has gradually spread to other areas of people’s grievance regarding civic services like maintenance of road in the locality, improvement in water supply, check on unauthorized construction, and monitoring unauthorized hawking. It has provided a forum to the citizens for participating in SWM and in improving the city’s environment. To note is the fact that the ALMs are largely middle and high income based groups, whose interest is ‘Clean City’, at the exclusion of the poor. Hence, although many of the initiatives of the ALMs are recommendable, these have become organised forums for the support for evictions of slum dwellers and the pavement dwellers from public space.Transparency and accountability, along with the relationship that developed between the people and the Municipal Corporation after the implementation of the project assured that the results achieved by the initiatives have a spiralling and long lasting effect. The ALM societies generated their own resources to undertake SWM, this being an indication that the concept of ALM was moving towards financial self-sustainability at society level. more
