Mohammad Mohiuddin, Chief, UNICEF-West Bengal, said the state has made considerable progress on Open Defecation Free (ODF) plus initiatives amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) has praised the West Bengal government's initiatives on solid waste management, and emphasised on the need for faecal, plastic and liquid waste control in rural areas of the state.
Mohammad Mohiuddin, Chief, UNICEF-West Bengal, said the state has made considerable progress on Open Defecation Free (ODF) plus initiatives amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
"A ODF plus village is one which sustains its Open Defecation Free status, ensures solid and liquid waste management and is visually clean," Mohiuddin said on the sidelines of a state-level workshop on Swachh Bharat Mission Grameen (SBMG) here on Thursday.
Officials of several states, including West Bengal, Kerala, Karnataka, Odisha, Maharashtra, and Himachal Pradesh took part in the workshop, discussed best practices and exchanged ideas.
