- देवी नदी के पास अस्त रंगा बीच की यह साईट, कछुओं के घोसले बनाने की प्रमुख जगहों में से एक है। अन्य जगहों में रुशिकुल्या और गहिरमठा शामिल हैं। सरकार जानती है कि इन जगहों का संरक्षण बहुत ज़रूरी है और अपने स्तर पर काम भी कर रही है। लेकिन जितना होना चाहिए उतना काम नहीं हो रहा है और अन्य दो जगहों पर ज्यादा काम होता है क्योंकि वहाँ टूरिस्ट ज्यादा आते हैं। हमने महसूस किया कि अस्त रंगा तट पर ज्यादा ध्यान नहीं दिया जा रहा है।
- 27 सितंबर 2020 को उन्होंने ‘देवी कच्छाप कल्याणम’ अभियान शुरू किया। इस अभियान में सौम्या के साथ दिलीप, प्रभाकर, संतोष, सुशांत और सुमन शामिल हुए। इसके तहत उन्होंने हर दिन अस्त रंगा तट और इसके आस -पास के इलाकों से कचरे को इकट्ठा किया। हालांकि, यह काम बिल्कुल भी आसान नहीं था। एक महीने में उन्होंने लगभग 24 किलोमीटर में फैले तटीय इलाके से 5 हज़ार किलो कचरा इकट्ठा करके मैनेजमेंट सेंटर तक भेजा।
- युवाओं के प्रयासों को पुरी जिला प्रशासन ने सराहा और महिंद्रा एंड महिंद्रा कंपनी ने उन्हें कचरा इकट्ठा करने के लिए ट्रैक्टर भी दिया। दिलीप कहते हैं, “स्थानीय प्रशासन ने उन्हें एक लोकल कंपनी को यह कचरा देने के लिए कहा था जो इसे आगे प्रोसेस करती। लेकिन जब तक ट्रैक्टर नहीं आ गया तब तक हमें 6 घंटे चलकर कचरा पहुँचाना पड़ता था।”

- Andhra Pradesh’s Kakinada city Municipal Commissioner, IAS Swapnil Pundkar, has devised a rather innovative method to deal with the city’s garbage littering issue. Here, after due verification of facts, if a household is found dumping garbage on the streets, or in places where it should not, the Municipal Commissioner and his team tracks down the culprit and ensures that it is sent right back to the house, as a “return gift” from the city.
- Swapnil have identified places that are GVP and are working towards ensuring that we change that,” says Swapnil. In Kakinada, when Swapnil took charge in June 2020, there were almost 150 GVPs and with consistent work over the last five months, they have reached 50 GVPs.
- Swapnil is confident that this initiative will help in bringing about the much-needed change in mind-set. “If everyone starts to follow the rules, even the few who want to deviate will think twice”.
