A sanitation group comprising of Basti women has been formed to oversee the monthly accounts and to engage with more families on waste collection. The group is also responsible for managing the monthly accounting and dispersal of salaries of staff for the collection of waste. Capacity building and life skill workshops have been conducted with the group in order to support them in sustaining the initiative. Regular monthly meetings are held with the group to resolve other issues related to waste collection and sanitation in their neighbourhood.
Regular monthly mohalla meetings were organized between with the neighbourhood group and residents of different mohallas (localities) in the Basti. These meetings address issues of waste disposal, street sweeping by the SDMC cleaning staff, participation of the residents in street waste audits and linking households to waste collectors in each locality. These meetings also served an important role for getting a feedback on services of waste collection.
