Gram Panchayat Sumoor, located in Block Panamic, District Leh, UT Ladakh, is known for its serene landscapes and proximity to the Nubra Valley. With a population largely engaged in agriculture and eco-tourism, the panchayat is dedicated to preserving its natural beauty while promoting sustainable development. Sumoor has actively embraced cleanliness and environmental initiatives, aligning with its ecological values.
Theme/Category Under Which Panchayat Has Been Nominated
Sumoor Panchayat has been nominated under the "Clean & Green Panchayat" category, recognizing its consistent efforts to enhance waste management practices, promote afforestation, and encourage eco-friendly community practices. This nomination reflects its commitment to maintaining cleanliness and fostering a green environment, benefiting both residents and visitors.
Key Achievements of the Panchayat Under the Awarded Theme
Under the "Clean & Green Panchayat" theme, Sumoor has implemented several impactful initiatives. It established Solid Resource Management Centers (SRMCs) to segregate and process waste, reducing landfill dependency and promoting recycling. A village-level cleanliness drive has been institutionalized, involving households and local schools in regular clean-up activities. Tree plantation drives are organized seasonally, contributing to increased green cover and creating an environment that supports biodiversity. These initiatives have notably improved local environmental conditions and instilled a sense of responsibility among the community.
Challenges Faced by Panchayat for Intervention Taken Under the Awarded Theme
Despite the achievements, the panchayat faced several challenges. Limited financial resources constrained the establishment of comprehensive waste management infrastructure, and the difficult terrain made regular waste collection and transportation costly and time-consuming. In addition, creating awareness and fostering participation among all community members was initially challenging, as some residents were reluctant to change traditional waste disposal practices. These obstacles posed significant hurdles in achieving and sustaining the panchayat's cleanliness and green initiatives.
Approach Taken by the Panchayat to Overcome the Challenge in the Awarded Theme
To address these challenges, Sumoor adopted a multi-pronged approach. The panchayat sought financial assistance from district and state schemes for the necessary infrastructure and involved local NGOs to provide technical support for waste management. Community awareness programs were conducted, focusing on educating residents on the importance of waste segregation and eco-friendly practices. Local volunteers were engaged to lead neighborhood clean-up campaigns, inspiring collective action. The panchayat also leveraged digital platforms to promote its initiatives, reaching a wider audience and enhancing community involvement.
