Mano Vijaykumar and Anita Hegde with staff at Aashiana Apartments in Alwarpet In 2019, a group of residents from Aashiana Apartments at Venus Colony in Alwarpet started Swachh Poes to educate households and businesses in Poes Road and Rajakrishna Road about source segregation and make this “neglected” neighbourhood a model area. We started with door-to-door visits to spread awareness among our neighbours, which included not just apartment owners but small businesses and vendors, seeking their cooperation.
