CLEAN CITY-GREEN CITY MARATHON ROAD SHOW

As cities become over-crowded, the infrastructure and other facilities provided by the State and Municipal Corporations become inadequate to handle the load. One such area where public co-operation is required is in efficient waste disposal and maintenance of a clean environment. The benefits of a green and clean city are better health, environment and quality of life for all its citizens. The Muthoot Group in association with Kochi Municipal Corporation organized a ‘Clean City- Green City’ Marathon to promote and educate the youth and other members of the public about the health hazards of ineffective waste management and techniques of effective waste disposal.

Pesticide free, clean and fresh vegetables have become a rare commodity. People are suffering from various diseases due to the consumption of contaminated, pesticide infected vegetables. In order to create awareness on this great danger that is affecting our society and to motivate people to develop a vegetable garden in their own homes, Muthoot Finance, in association with Malayala Manorama organized seminars named ” Ente Adukalathottam”(My kitchen garden) at Trivandrum, Kochi and Calicut. These informative seminars anchored by Professors from Agricultural University, were well attended by the public.
