Mangalam Balasubramanian, the managing trustee of the Exnora Green Pammal, observes, “There was ‘Gupta Age.’ There was ‘Iron Age.’ Where are we now? We are in ‘Garb-age.’” 

Joining hands with the residents, municipal authorities, and the private sector, Exnora Green Pammal manages and recycles solid waste. 

Led by Balasubramanian, Exnora Green Pammal is a community of local women who go door to door every day to collect waste and spread awareness on the critical importance of waste segregation.
