June 30, 2013
Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) major ITC Ltd today extended its 'wealth out of waste' programme to Bangalore by roping in rag-pickers and civic working to make the city greener by cleaning up its garage. "As ambassadors of the programme, rag-pickers and civic workers will get at least Rs. 3,000 more per month to sustain their livelihood by collecting garbage in 10 civic wards across the city and segregating them for recycling," ITC's food division chief executive Mr. Chitranjan Dar said at a function here ahead of the third anniversary of the 'National Recycling Day' on July 1.
