Dr. Astha Agarwal, the chairwoman of Pilibhit’s municipal council, has been chosen to represent Uttar Pradesh at the 12th Regional 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle) and Circular Economy Forum in Jaipur, Rajasthan. The event, scheduled from March 3-5, will feature approximately 300 international representatives from 40 Asia-Pacific countries. This is a significant honor, as Dr. Agarwal is the only delegate from among 200 municipal councils across the state. The forum focuses on promoting circular economies and sustainable development, with the theme “Realising Circular Societies towards Achieving Sustainable Development Goals and Carbon Neutrality in Asia-Pacific.” The event will feature a “India Pavilion” showcasing the country’s initiatives in the 3R and circular economy domain. Dr. Agarwal credited her nomination to her proposals for solid waste management, sustainable urban water reservoir development, and reuse of waste materials to create tourist attractions. The conference will adopt the “Jaipur Declaration” on the closing day, serving as a framework for countries to develop 3R and circular economy policies.
