Meghalaya Launches Waste‑to‑Wealth Centre to Convert Banana Waste into Livelihoods

The state government has opened a new waste‑to‑wealth facility aimed at turning banana waste into productive resources. The centre will process the abundant banana peels and other residues generated across the state, turning them into products that can generate income for local communities. By converting agricultural waste into marketable goods, the project seeks to address both environmental and economic challenges. The initiative is part of Meghalaya’s broader effort to promote sustainable development and create employment opportunities for its residents.
