The Haritha Karma Sena, is an initiative launched by the Government of Kerala in India to promote waste management and environmental conservation. The study focuses on the solid waste management practices in Kerala, India. The research aims to analyze the waste management strategies implemented by Haritha Karma Sena, its impact, and the factors affecting waste management in the area. The study employs a descriptive and analytical research design to collect primary data through a structured questionnaire. The research highlights the challenges faced in waste management, including behavior change, limited participation, and funding constraints. Haritha Karma Sena's waste disposal process includes waste segregation, collection, transportation, recycling, composting, and disposal. However, inadequate infrastructure and funding hinder efficient waste management. The study suggests focusing on awareness and education campaigns to promote responsible waste management practices and encouraging community participation in waste management initiatives. Collaborating with local authorities and seeking financial support can enhance waste management efficiency. Implementing incentive programs and sustainable waste management policies will address challenges and promote a cleaner and greener environment. Overall, Haritha Karma Sena's efforts have made a positive impact on waste management in Kerala, serving as an inspiring example for other communities. Continuous monitoring and evaluation will help in further improvement and ensure a sustainable waste management system for a healthier and eco-friendly future.
