Mysuru: Promoting sustainable living through conscious waste management, a ‘home composting’ workshop was held recently at the Namma Roopanagara Residents Welfare Association (NRRWA) Office in Roopanagar.

The programme, organised by NRRWA in association with Dostbin Solutions Private Ltd., a manufacturer of composting bins, aimed to encourage residents to manage kitchen waste responsibly at home.

Nearly 80 residents from Roopanagar and neighbouring layouts participated. The core team from Dostbin Solutions, led by Shumail Ali Khan, demonstrated their innovative and award-winning composting bin and explained the composting process through a detailed presentation. Participants also gained hands-on experience in using the bins.

NRRWA President Narasimha Murthy presided. Director Raghu Srinivasan welcomed while Director Uma Peshwa compered.

Association Secretary K.S. Somayaji expressed hope that the workshop would motivate more households to start composting kitchen waste, thereby reducing the dependency on garbage collectors.

Dr. Shushma Appaiah proposed a vote of thanks, appreciating the enthusiastic participation of residents and the efforts of the Dostbin team.

The workshop concluded on a positive note, empowering residents with practical knowledge and skills to adopt sustainable waste management practices  at home.
