Like the municipal waste collectors, who are employed by the municipality, informal waste pickers too do a great service to the society. But their contribution to health and environment is hardly acknowledged and are often treated as a public nuisance and sometimes regarded as thieves. They collect waste materials thrown out by households and from public waste dumps.

Hence to facilitate the process of acquiring these basic skills in learning we have started tuition programme for children who are attending schools.
