This post you will find on the main Vee Clean and Green blog and on the Vee Clean and Green : Meeting Minutes blog. This is really the most important step forward towards a long term solution..

Deepa Mohan and Roopa represented Vee Clean and Green team in this meeting with the MD, Jungle Lodges and Resorts (Mr N D Tiwari)

We were invited to a meeting with the MD, Jungle Lodges and Resorts. An honour to have such an opportunity. Clean and Green was represented by Deepa Mohan and Roopa Sankaran. As remarked by Sandeep - another Red Letter Day for Vee Clean and Green.

Mr N.D Tiwari, MD, JLR received us on time. Thanked him for the support extended so far. He asked what are the other areas that we can work together on. Just minuting the discussion :

1. JLR will have some staff (identified number of staff) working in Mutthathi and Sangama to do the clean up during weekdays. Weekends being very busy at JLR, the staff will work duing the weekdays on cleaning up.

2. JLR property managers will now become part of the EDC and actively participate in involving the locals in maintaining the picnic spots. Clean and Green volunteers to be prompters to the Managers to ensure this is taking place.

3. JLR vehicles will continue to bring back the plastic from this cleaning to KK Plastics Waste Management - as has been recently accomplished. Again Clean and Green to play the prompter role, to ensure no slack in the continued activities. Note 1 : Mr Tiwari, assured that he will direct his staff at Galibore and Bheemeswari about the role they have to play in ensuring these above mentioned points. Note 2 : Mr Tiwari expressed his concern over the problem of litter and assured that having a clean environ is a felt need. He was very appreciative of the efforts from Clean and Green so far.

4. Provide a proposal for review to Mr Karthik of JLR, who will then coordinate a meeting of Clean and Green with Director Tourism Subhash Hari Singh. Note 3 : Mr Tiwari, reassured that Clean and Green will face no challenges and will enjoy and recieve support from his office and his staff in the implementation of the key points (above) in ensuring Muttathi and Sangama clean.
