In a remarkable example of innovation and grassroots entrepreneurship, local businessman Tariq Ahmad Ganie from Kulgam has transformed waste management into a ₹2 crore-plus success story.
Inspired by the Swachh Bharat Mission, his MSME unit processes around 1.5 tons of waste daily, contributing significantly to local sanitation efforts and sustainable development.
The unit has also created employment opportunities for over 30 local youth, offering stable livelihoods while promoting environmentally responsible practices in the region.
Officials and locals have praised the initiative as a model of how small-scale enterprises can combine social impact with economic growth, especially in rural and semi-urban areas.
