Agra’s Remarkable Journey: From a Toxic Dumpsite to a Green, Sustainable City – In its mission to create a clean and waste-free city by implementing the 3R principles—Reduce, Reuse, Recycle—Agra Municipal Corporation, under the SBM-U has achieved a historic milestone.

This success is not just a technological advancement but also an exemplar of environmental conservation, sustainable development, and public awareness.

Way back in 2007, the land at Kuberpur, functioned as a typical landfill site. Thousands of tons of solid waste collected daily by the municipal corporation were dumped here. Over the years, this dumpsite dutifully served the city, but gradually it became a center of distress itself.

In 2019, inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and under the guidance of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Agra Municipal Corporation took concrete steps to address this serious problem. Under expert technical guidance, the process of removing legacy waste began through bioremediation and biomining technologies. This initiative was executed with the collaboration of SPAAK Super Infra Pvt. Ltd., gradually breathing new life into the land.
