New Delhi: New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has declared Chanakya Rail Enclave in Chanakyapuri its 10th Anupam Colony, recognising the neighbourhood’s achievement in 100% waste segregation and community-led sustainability initiatives.Unveiling a plaque at the colony Thursday, NDMC chairman Manoj Kumar Dwivedi said the civic body aimed to develop at least five more Anupam Colonies in the coming months. Chanakya Rail Enclave is the first colony to be recognised under the new target.Under the initiative, colonies are required to ensure complete segregation of waste at source and undertake composting within their premises.Dwivedi said residents and the RWA had played an active role in helping the colony achieve 100% waste segregation.NDMC financial adviser Rakesh Kumar said the colony was generating its own organic manure and would soon transform into a fully green neighbourhood within five to six months.Launched in June 2025, the programme has covered several residential areas, including Chanakyapuri, Bharti Nagar, Bapu Dham, New Moti Bagh, Kaka Nagar, Jor Bagh, Sangli Apartments and Golf Links.
