Udupi, May 11: The mechanized garbage disposal unit set up in Belapu village, near here, on an experimental basis has drawn the interest of several village councils.  The heads of gram panchayats and town panchayats in Karnataka and Kerala have expressed their interest after viewing the unit during their visit. 

The heads and panchayat development officers of Madoor gram panchayat in Kasargod district of Kerala, Bajpe, Laila, Ujire, Niddle, and Someshwar in Dakshina Kannada district arrived to view the unit at Belapu on Thursday May 10.

Young engineers Nidhish Shetty, a native of Alevoor, and Abhiman Shetty, a native of Kaup, near here, invented a garbage disposal plant for the first time in Karnataka. The live demonstration of the newly-invented garbage disposal unit was held for the first time in Belapu gram panchayat, near here, on Wednesday May 2.
 
Madoor gram panchayat president Madhav Master, vice-president Sujnani Shanbagh, members Gopalakrishna, Ravindra Rai, and Malati expressed interest in installing the unit in Madoor.
 
Bajpe gram panchayat president Sahool Hameed and former president Surendra Pergade expressed their interest, but had to make a feasibility report.
 
Someshwar gram panchayat vice-president Ramesh, panchayat development officer Vishwanath, Niddle gram panchayat development officer Purushottam, Laila gram panchayat development officer Prakash Rai, and Ujire gram panchayat development officer Susheela S Hegde expressed happiness over the unit and said it will take some time to finalize.

The heads of Katpady, Shirva, and Padubidri gram panchayats are also interested in the unit. Belapu gram panchayat president Deviprasad Shetty offered information on the garbage disposal unit.

“Madoor gram panchayat that has a population of nearly 35,000 is being provided state funds of Rs 85 lac annually under category 1, in addition of Rs 2 crore from various sources,” said Madhav Master. 

“The state funds are available up to 75 percent for installing the unit.  Kerala government has hiked the housing funds from Rs 75,000 to Rs 2 lac,” he added.

    First and foremost thing is I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to young Mr.Nitish Shetty and Abhiman Shetty-an inventor of Mechanized Garbage Disposal Unit.May Almighty God bless both of them to carry out many such inventions.This should be encouraged by all sections of the society/departments/Authorities for the very true survival of what we call Human beings.This will definitely a boon for the human society.Of course we the people should not convert in to bane to the society.With this kind of mechanizm,inventions we can keep our city clean to certain extent but can not be wiped out completely.

    That practice should be evinced by the general people like us starting from our own house to own surroundings.Then only things will get materialized.Talk does not cook the rice.People must co-operate with civic bodies of the area,gram panchayat officials.Mere blaming the officials/departments for their no fault does not serve the purpose.However civic bodies,concerned departments,authorities must try to bring awareness amongst general public to keep the city clean.This is God's land,we are fighting for nothing.If we start and keep our own house,surroundings clean,trend will be followed by others/your neighbour and network will grow in this manner.Definitely if we evince an interest we can prove that impossible can be converted in to possible.Nothing is impossible in this world.Start join your hands and let us accomplish this mission collectively.Jai Hind.

    We seriously need a garbage disposal unit to keep our city clean. People have no choice but to throw garbage on streets or burn waste including plastics in their own compounds since there are no dustbins or waste collection systems. All this has a negative impact on our environment. Appreciate if the concerned authorities would look into this at the earliest. We need a clean and Green city!!!

    We are proud of Mr Nidhish and Abhiman Shetty for inventing scientific garbage disposable system particularly in Village and Town Pancahyath level.The showcasing of the product gone well with prospective buyers but I did not see any ZP excutives nor ZP president or district admin reps.Reps from Kerala Local bodies able to attend the showcase of new invented machine but from our state the initiative is in expected lines.Mr Jagdish Shettar,Minister,Rural Development, need to take stock of the development with a serious thought and do needful.Our great Manglorean Engg's efforts should be lauded in this field which is need of the hour.We are very much lazy and least bothered about sanitation and environmental health in which this machine came as a handy tool.Certainly,Govt of Karnataka should arrange state level exhibition and workshop for this newly invented Garbage disposable product.
