A total of 10,000 state Government offices and public sector undertakings in Kerala will be declared “green” on January 26, the Republic Day. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan would make the official announcement in this regard at a virtual function, which would be chaired by LSGD minister A C Moideen on the day.
After the declaration, functions would be held in various offices across the state in which the certificate for the compliance of the green protocol would be submitted to its heads by the chairpersons of the local self-government institutions or jointly by the ward member/councillor and a member of the green action force, an official statement said here.
Those offices, which avoid using plastic and disposable items in day-to-day activities and encourage the use of articles that can be reused and recycled, would get the green tag. The institutions are going green by meeting criteria of the Green Protocol Verification Index, it said.
