Description Hand in Hand Inclusive Development and Services (HHIDS), is a non-profit company
registered under Section-25 of the Indian Companies Act, 1956 with its office
at Kancheepuram, Tamil Nadu, India. HHIDS works in the field of Solid Waste
Management. This involves educating the people in waste management principles,
conducting awareness programs and on field implementation of waste management.
The project also ensures that the practices are implemented in a sustainable manner
through community participation. The long-term objective is thus to reduce the
environmental degradation caused by the unscientific handling of solid waste. The
project aims at ensuring environmental, social and financial sustainability in a period
of three years and advocating the 3 R concepts (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle), to
achieve that the people are educated on the importance of segregating garbage at
source and avoiding usage of disposable plastics. At present, Hand in Hand’s solid
waste management project is implemented with community participation at 22
locations, in 8 districts, in the State of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, and
Union Territory of Puducherry; covering 156,878 families with a total population
