Gorakhpur is breaking new ground with plans to establish the nation's first Integrated Waste Management City-cum-Learning Centre by September 2025. This initiative is part of an ambitious effort to eliminate waste through a circular economy model.

Spanning 40 acres in Sahjanwa's Suthni village, the centre is designed to process a plethora of waste types, including biomedical and e-waste. It will generate charcoal and Bio-CNG, boosting economic and employment opportunities in the region, said Gorakhpur Municipal Commissioner Gaurav Sogarwal.
