HDB Financial Services Raises Awareness on Waste Management in Udupi
~Collaborates with Saahas to support the Swaccha Udupi Mission~
Karnataka, April 28, 2022: HDB Financial Services (HDBFS) collaborated with Saahas to support the Swachh Udupi Mission; a holistic program initiated by the district administration to manage the city waste in a scientific and a sustained manner.
Under this project, residents and commercial establishments were trained on segregating waste at source. Nearly 155,000 individuals are sensitized through various awareness activities and over 34,000 households have been practicing source segregation daily.
HDBFS supports the training programs for ward-level frontline workers such as those who help with refuse collection, segregators employed at sorting units and the staff managing the landfills. In an attempt to reduce landfill waste, tools and technical know-how were provided to aid the process of converting waste into a resource. With collaborated efforts, nearly 11,000 metric tons of waste have been diverted from the landfills till date. Compost is made using the bio-degradable waste, whereas non-degradable waste, depending on its chemical composition, is sent for co-processing.
Commenting on the initiative Environmental Engineer with Udupi City Municipal Corporation Sneha Shankar said, “through the Solid Waste Management program as initiated by HDB in collaboration with Saahas, Udupi’s waste management scenario has completely changed over the course of three years. If it was not for the machineries & other support given through the project, we wouldn’t have been able to achieve so much within so less time. We sincerely thank HDBFS for their continuous support we got from them.”
Commenting on the initiative HDBFS Branch Manager in Udupi Dayananda Poojary said, “Rapid urbanization in the country has led to challenges in the disposal and effective treatment of waste. HDBFS, through its waste management initiatives, strives to sensitize and engage the communities on responsible waste management practices in order to reduce the irreversible adverse impact on the environment.”
Commenting on the initiative Saahas CEO Archana Tripathi said, “The Udupi project has been our first city level intervention for Solid Waste Management and with the support of Udupi CMC, we have showcased a model which can be replicated in other cities as well. We are grateful to HDB Financial Services for giving us the opportunity to work on Swaccha Udupi Mission and for the constant support that we have received from their CSR team.”
The waste management program has led to setting up pilot systems to prevent plastic waste from entering the ocean and providing technical inputs to the City Municipal Corporation for setting up advanced processing centres to segregate waste efficiently.

इंडिया टॉप म्यूजिक चार्ट में 11वे नंबर पर शिल्पी राज और नीलम गिरी का ‘राजा जी खून कई द’, वही श्वेता महारा का ‘रेलिया रे’ ने 15 स्थान पर बनाई जगह
इंडिया टॉप म्यूजिक वीडियोज में नंबर 1 पर पुष्पा फिल्म का श्रीवल्ली, नंबर 2 और 3 पर ओ आथिया, 4 पर सम्मी जैसे गाने के बीच में भोजपुरी इंडस्ट्री के भी गानों ने इस चार्ट बास्टर में अपनी जगह में वृद्धि करते हुए आगे बढ़ रहे हैं। जहाँ पिछले सप्ताह ‘राजा जी खून कई द’ 15वे नंबर पर था, वही इस सप्ताह इस सांग ने चार पायदान की बढ़त बढ़ाते हुए ये 11वे नंबर पर आ गया है। वही इसी के साथ ‘रेलिया रे’ सांग भी छलांग लगते हुए 25वे स्थान से 15वे स्थान पर आ गया हैं। इन दोनों ही सांग में एक खास बात है कि दोनों ही गानों को भोजपुरी इंडस्ट्री की सबसे भरोसेमंद म्यूजिक कंपनी वर्ल्डवाइड रिकार्ड्स भोजपुरी ने रिलीज किया है और दोनों ही गानों को भोजपुरी की ट्रेंडिंग सिंगर शिल्पी राज ने गाया हैं। जहाँ ‘राजा जी खून कई द’ में ट्रेंडिंग गर्ल नीलम गिरी ने अपनी परफॉर्मस से चार चांद लगा दिके हैं, तो वही ‘रेलिया रे’ में अभिनेत्री श्वेता महारा नजर आई हैं। वर्ल्डवाइड रिकार्ड्स भोजपुरी से रिलीज ‘राजा जी खून कई द’ 37 मिलियन और 3 लाख 5 हजार लाइक वही, ‘रेलिया रे’ को 23 मिलियन और 2 लाख 31 हजार से ज्यादा लाइक हासिल कर चुके हैं।
इस मौके पर वर्ल्डवाइड रिकार्ड्स के एमडी रत्नाकार कुमार ने कहा कि हमारी कंपनी से रिलीज शिल्पी राज के गाने ‘राजा जी खून कई द’ और ‘रेलिया रे’ ने इंडिया टॉप म्यूजिक वीडियोज में अपनी जगह बनाई है। इससे ये पता चलता हैं कि हमारी भोजपुरी इंडस्ट्री अब बॉलीवुड सांग्स को भी टक्कर दे रही हैं। कंपनी से रिलीज हुई सांग ने म्यूजिक चार्ट बास्टर में पहुंचने पर मैं सभी बधाई देता हूँ। दोनों ही गाने जबर्दस्त परफॉर्म कर रहे हैं।
इस सफलता पर शिल्पी राज ने कहा कि मैं सभी ऑडियंस की शुक्रगुजार हूं, जिन्होंने इस सांग को टॉप म्यूजिक वीडियोज के बीच में पहुंचाया हैं। और ये साबित कर दिया कि हम भोजपुरिया सिंगर भी किसी से कम नहीं हैं। बॉलीवुड सांग के बीच में मेरे सांग्स का होना भोजपुरी इंडस्ट्री के लिए भी एक सकारात्मक खबर है। अब हम और भी ज्यादा मेहनत करेंगे। जिससे इसी तरह हम दुनिया की नजरों में अपनी जगह बना पाए।

वैलेंटाइन डे पर लांच हुआ भोजपुरी का मनोरंजन टीवी चैनल ‘एम एच वन दिल से’, देख सकते हैं ऑनलाइन लाइव भी
भोजपुरिया माटी की महक को समेटे हुए भोजपुरी भाषी लोगों के मनोरंजन के लिए टीवी चैनल एम एच वन दिल से वैलेंटाइन डे पर लॉन्च किया गया है। क्षेत्रीय भाषा भोजपुरी के अंतर्गत लॉन्च किया गया एक मनोरंजन चैनल ‘एम एच वन दिल से’ का उद्देश्य भोजपुरी भाषी जनता, चाहे वे देश हों या देश के बाहर, सबके मनोरंजन के साथ-साथ भाषा के उत्थान के क्षेत्र में भी कार्य करना है। हालांकि भोजपुरी को बोली का ही दर्जा प्राप्त है, जिसे भाषा का दर्जा दिलाने का संघर्ष जारी है। इस दिशा में चैनल “एम एच वन दिल से” का लॉन्च होना भी एक सार्थक पहल है “एम एच वन दिल से”।
इस सैटेलाईट चैनल को आप टीवी के साथ-साथ वेबसाइट पर ऑनलाइन लाइव भी देख सकते हैं www.dilse.mhone.in ताकि जब कोई भी शख्स घर से बाहर हैं या सफर कर रहे हैं तब भी भोजपुरी का मनोरंजन चैनल “एम एच वन दिल से” देख सकते हैं।
भोजपुरी समाज के हर उम्र, हर वर्ग के मनोरंजन का ध्यान रखते हुए अपने कार्यक्रमों की रुपरेखा तैयार किया गया है। यह भोजपुरी लोकगायक/लोकगायिकाओं को जोड़ते हुए “सबेरे-सबेरे” जैसा पारिवारिक कार्यक्रम प्रस्तुत करता है, वहीं “स्कूल लाइफ” और “कॉलेज कैंटीन” जैसे कार्यक्रमों के माध्यम से शिक्षित युवा वर्ग को भी अपनी तरफ आकर्षित करने, अपने से जोड़ने और विद्यार्थियों में जागरूकता लाने का बेहतरीन प्रयास करता है “एम एच वन दिल से”। “आवाज भोजपुरी” जैसी संगीत-प्रतियोगिता के कार्यक्रम के माध्यम से युवा कलाकारों को अपना भविष्य संवारने के लिए मंच तो देता ही है, साथ ही लुप्त हो रही भोजपुरी लोकगायकी की विधाओं को भी संरक्षित करने का प्रशंसनीय कार्य करता है।
और सब से महत्वपूर्ण उद्देश्य यह कि भोजपुरी मनोरंजन जगत में व्याप्त हो चुकी अश्लीलता के कारण शिक्षित भोजपुरी भाषी वर्ग, जो इस से यानि कि भोजपुरी मनोरंजन जगत से स्वयं को अलग रखे हुए था, उनके सामने स्वच्छ और पारवारिक मनोरंजन कार्यक्रम प्रस्तुत कर उन्हें जोड़ना है।
