7 star survey questionnaire

Dear Whitefield Community Member,

As part of the effort to make all communities in Whitefield become zero-waste and follow BBMP’s mandate of segregating waste, we request you to participate in the Whitefield Rising ‘7 Star community’ programme.

Whitefield Rising is a voluntary, non profit organisation focused on transforming Whitefield for the benefit of all its residents in a very unique way. As a body it hopes to connect every Whitefield resident and with their support incubate groups of residents that are busy brainstorming and solving our local problems like Water, Lakes, Traffic, Garbage, Pollution, Tree Cutting and the like.

Kindly fill up all the required information in the questionnaire. An independent expert body  Saahas will randomly pick 3 communities from the survey  to evaluate your responses and the rest will be assessed by Whitefield Rising Waste Management Team with guidance from Saahas. This exercise aims at adopting and replicating best practices in the area of Waste Management to achieve a healthy neighbourhood.
