An enthusiastic initiative of one male group

Brahmaputra sonali sokal group is one of the male groups of Mymensingh Center. The group is consists of 21 male family members of IED organized women group. The members of this male group initiate different types of activities towards women empowerment and environmental development. Members of this group take a special effort to keep their area neat and clean. Small drop of rain water over floods the drainage system and causes water logging at Ralirmour roadside. City dwellers throw their waste at roadside as there is no dustbin to put the waste and garbage floats into water. There are about 1000 passersby walk away in this road every day. So water logging on the road hampers the peoples’ movement of the area that causes big sufferings. 

Group members discuss this dire problem in their meeting and decide to manage dustbin and inform the community people to put their trash into the dustbin. Considering the situation, few members led by Shri Rakhal Chandra Bishaw Sharma, leader of the group met Mr. Zamal Hossain, local Councilor, City Corporation and demanded for dustbins. After hearing their problem regarding to install dustbins, the councilor assured them to provide 4 dustbins for that area. Afterwards the meeting, councilor placed 4 mobile dustbins and engaged one person for maintaining waste.

The group members are now visiting home to home to encourage people to put their waste into the dustbin and the residents are dumping their garbage into the dustbin. In this way, the area is turning into neat and clean one and has become environment friendly. Thus, the male members of the group is keeping their area neat and clean and taking part in various development interventions.
