Workshop on Waste-Management, Lava
Saturday, January 12th, 2008 
A community workshop on waste management was held in Lava village in Kalimpong Subdivision of Darjeeling District. A German Expert spent three days in the village to train the villagers on waste separation and proper disposal.
The village is a popular tourism destination and the increasing amount of non-biodegredable waste has become an eyesore both for tourists and local people.
The programme was a joint initiative of ACT-Association for Conservation and Tourism, Help Tourism, Lava Hotel Owners Association, Lava Drivers Welfare Association, the village panchayat, and Byapari Sangathan.
