Pimpri, 24th November 2025: Pimpri Chinchwad is witnessing a fresh wave of creativity in its public spaces as the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal CorporationтАЩs (PCMC) Health Department turns discarded materials into vibrant urban art. What were once waste-prone spots have now been redesigned into attractive showcases of responsible waste management and aesthetic improvement, giving citizens both cleaner surroundings and visually engaging spaces.
тАЬThis artistic initiative by PCMC is setting a positive example for other cities. Several more beautification projects are already in the pipeline. Through imaginative use of discarded materials, Pimpri Chinchwad is creating a strong model for urban cleanliness and aesthetic transformation.тАЭтАФ Dr Pradeep Thengal, Deputy Commissioner, Health Department, PCMC.
This initiative focuses on beautifying sensitive locations across the city using tyres, plastic drums, bottles, metal frames, old pipes and other scrap items. Parks, roadside patches and community spaces in areas such as Ward 17 (Bijlinagar) and Ward 22 (Shanti Chowk тАУ Kalewadi) under the B Zonal Office, as well as Ward 5 (Sakhubai Gawali Udyan, Alandi Road, Bhosari) under the E Zonal Office, have been transformed through colourful and creative installations.
Unlike conventional cleanliness drives, this project relies on the creativity of PCMCтАЩs sanitation workers, who have played a central role in conceptualising and crafting these installations. Their effort has not only enhanced the cityscape but also demonstrated how waste can be repurposed meaningfully.
The work has been carried out under the guidance of PCMC Commissioner Shravan Hardikar, Additional Commissioner Vijaykumar Khorate, Deputy Commissioner and Health Chief Dr. Pradeep Thengal, and Assistant Commissioner and Health Executive Officer Amit Pandit. Assistant Health Officers Rajesh Bhat, Sudhir Waghmare and Shriram Gaikwad; Chief Health Inspectors Atul Sonawane and Bhushan Shinde; and Health Inspectors Rupali Salve, Mukesh Jagtap and Vikas Shirwale also contributed significantly to the implementation.
