MASTER PLAN 2031
ASSAM (NEW MUNICIPALITIES)
GIS-Based Urban Planning & Infrastructure Development
HighLight
Extending the success of our SBMU work, Citiyano De Solutions was engaged to deliver IEC and solid waste management support to the municipalities of Barpeta, Dhekiajuli, and Silapathar in Assam. Building on our established expertise in the region, we designed comprehensive communication and behavioural change strategies.
Our approach combined stakeholder mobilisation, digital outreach, and onground IEC activities tailored to the unique challenges of each city. We worked closely with local authorities, community groups, and schools to promote waste segregation, reduction, and responsible disposal. By leveraging our proven methods from other Assam projects, we helped these municipalities accelerate their progress toward the goals of the Swachh Bharat Mission.
