It is always assumed and taken for granted that total sanitation, scientific management of solid waste , disposal of construction and demolition waste and making any area waste and open defecation free, can only happen in the urban areas and all rural areas remain laggard in knowledge, expertise and experience in undertaking these tasks rationally and logically. Growing and operating under the shadow and guidance of Nav Yuvak Mandal, Mahila Mandals ‘Kala Jatha’, Akal University and Baru Sahib society, Village Lana Bhalta, a remote village of Sirmaur district of Himachal Pradesh, has proved it to be a myth an wrong, by earning a name and winning awards for cleanliness and recycling its waste at the national level. Village Lana Bhatta is credited to be first village free from garbage; with each household having a toilet constructed within the house; having a unique system of garbage collection; total recycling of all the solid/plastic waste collected and converting the waste including plastic into construction materials, to be used in the construction of the buildings.
