the locality since we trainees observed that the main problem faced in this locality is lack
of waste management .So we decided to take that as our topic for community program .We
observed that all the wastes are thrown here and there without any proper management
.They are disposed without any management .,therefore proper management should be
taken in order to stop this issue.When we discussed it with the authorities of maraykulam
panachayath they told that they have done many steps .But we observed that all the
measures are not done properly ,and also all these things are not done properly and the
