and dry garbage. Many times, the garbage in the bins are being burned. Bosch Ltd. In association
with MICO forum conducts a medical camp twice in a month on Tuesdays. People throw the
wastewater on the road and this was causing the water ponds in front of houses, as there was no
proper drainage system. Which increased the mosquitos and houseflies.

partition the dustbins into two half's and coloring from outside to differentiate. We created
awareness on the effects of houseflies in the health issues, provided some housefly straps and some
of the houses as implemented housefly nets. To avoid the water clogging of wastewater we proposed
a drainage plan and approached Ashoka Buildcon for technical suggestions.
