Behaviour is the hardest part of waste — so we change it.

Segregation only sticks when households believe in it. Social Lab runs IEC campaigns — door-to-door outreach, corner meetings, street plays and school programmes — that turn segregation-at-source into a shared habit.

In short — IEC is the awareness engine behind every clean city. We build household understanding of what to segregate and why, then reinforce it through door-to-door outreach, corner meetings, segregation demos, school rallies, street plays and clean-up drives — until source segregation becomes the norm, not the exception.
How we reach every household

Four channels, one behaviour change

No single message changes a habit. We design and run a coordinated campaign that meets people where they are — at the door, in the neighbourhood, at school and on the street.

Door-to-door outreach

One-to-one household engagement on what to segregate, why it matters and how to do it — the backbone of every campaign.

Corner meetings & mobilisation

Neighbourhood-level conversations and community meetings that build collective buy-in beyond the individual home.

School rallies & street plays

Culturally-rooted formats — rallies, nukkad-natak street theatre and school programmes — that reach children and families together.

Demos & distribution

Live segregation demonstrations plus sticker and reusable-bag distribution that make the new habit easy and visible.

How a campaign runs

From baseline to a habit that sticks

A designed campaign — not a one-off drive — with repeat touchpoints and a hand-off that keeps segregation going after we leave.

  1. 01 Baseline & audience

    Map the ward — awareness levels, languages, waste behaviour and the gaps that matter most.

  2. 02 Message design

    Build clear, local messaging on classification, disposal hazards and segregation-at-source.

  3. 03 Field delivery

    Run the mix — door-to-door, corner meetings, demos, rallies, street plays and clean-up drives.

  4. 04 Reinforce & measure

    Repeat touchpoints, track segregation behaviour and hand the routine to the ULB to sustain.

Awareness is where every clean city starts

IEC sets up source segregation — which makes collection, processing and integration work. It runs hand-in-hand with the rest of our waste-circularity toolkit.
