New Delhi: In a significant boost to sustainable urban development, Housing and Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO) has extended financial assistance of ₹2.37 crore to the Government of Himachal Pradesh under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives.
The support will be utilised for strengthening Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) across the state through the procurement of waste shredders and electric garbage collection vehicles, enhancing the efficiency of solid waste management systems and promoting clean urban mobility.
The CSR cheque was formally presented to Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu and Hon’ble Minister for Public Works Shri Vikramaditya Singh, marking a collaborative effort between the public sector enterprise and the state government towards building sustainable urban ecosystems.
