In an effort to improve sanitation and public health, over 200,000 toilets have been constructed in urban areas and 37.76 lakh toilets in rural communities.
The corporation backed a local event in Vijayawada known as the Indian Swachhta League 2.0. About 3,000 young folks took part to make the city cleaner. At this event, workers got rid of a lot of trash from the city's waterways.
Corporation has set an ambitious goal to distribute two crore dustbins in villages throughout the state. This initiative aims to enhance waste collection and promote cleaner living conditions in rural areas. By providing these dustbins, the corporation hopes to make it easier for residents to dispose of waste responsibly.
