In a 2016 meeting held in Dasanhundi village, the VHSNC president and committee members were involved in a discussion about village cleanliness. The school teacher raised the issue of lack of cleanliness in the school and that children and villagers were throwing paper and other waste items in front of the school which resulted in rubbish coming into the school compound and the need for a dustbin to be placed inside the premises. A general member also raised a concern that the public are throwing waste items in drains and in the roads which eventually causes drains to become blocked and requested the committee to purchase and place a cement dustbin near the temple and school area.
The president gave assurances that dustbins would be placed in these two different places in the village and informed the secretary to obtain a quotation for the items. The following month, the committee approved the purchase of the two dustbins from the VHSNC fund which were placed in the two locations.
