47 Retirees Receive Long-Awaited Pension And Gratuity Benefits From NDMC
NDMC distributes pension and gratuity benefits to 47 retirees.
New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) Chairperson Manoj Kumar Dwivedi on Monday distributed gratuity, leave encashment and pension payment orders to 47 employees retiring from service at the Convention Centre on Jai Singh Road. Dwivedi congratulated the retirees and wished them good health, encouraging them to lead active and meaningful lives after superannuation.
The NDMC has also been preparing for the BRICS Summit scheduled to be hosted in New Delhi next month. The civic body has outlined plans focused on cleanliness, green spaces, beautification, infrastructure and public amenities as part of its preparations for the international gathering. The NDMC has stated that it aims to present a clean, green and welcoming capital while ensuring civic services remain efficient during the summit.
The civic agency has linked its preparations to India’s BRICS Chairship theme of “Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability” and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s people-centric approach. The NDMC has been working on various civic initiatives to strengthen the city’s appearance and infrastructure ahead of the event. It has also emphasised careful planning and coordination to ensure public facilities meet the requirements of the global gathering.

Alongside preparations for the summit, the NDMC has launched a programme to promote sustainable waste management through the distribution of organic compost at Palika Kendra. Dwivedi highlighted the council’s efforts to convert biodegradable wet and green waste into useful compost. The initiative is part of the civic body’s broader “Waste to Wealth” approach and is aimed at encouraging more sustainable horticulture practices.
During the programme, organic compost produced through aerobic composting was distributed among NDMC employees and the Horticulture Department for use in homes, residential colonies, parks and other green spaces. Three truckloads of compost were also flagged off for the Horticulture Department. The NDMC plans to extend the initiative to Resident Welfare Associations, enabling residents to use the compost for potted plants and home nurseries.
Dwivedi said the initiative was intended to promote sustainable waste management, reduce dependence on chemical fertilisers and encourage organic practices. He also linked the programme to the broader objective of developing a “Zero Waste” culture and progressively reducing chemical use. The NDMC said greater awareness among citizens about organic compost and sustainable horticulture would form an important part of the initiative.
