Carbon Neutral Rajapalayam

Towards Carbon Neutral Rajapalayam

A transformation in every step

Master Plan

The Rajapalayam Master Plan envisions a well-structured, future-ready city that focuses on both urban development and community integration.

The 44-acre Eco Park at Sanjeevi Malai’s foothills will host 2,500 native trees across 43 species, enhancing biodiversity, creating green lungs, and offering a vibrant community recreation and education space.

Greening Sanjeevi Hills

With Rs.5 crore state support, thousands of trees from nearly 200 native species will be planted, reviving Sanjeevi Hills’ ecological heritage and strengthening resilience against climate change and habitat loss.

Solar Power

Rajapalayam’s solar transition, backed by expert partners, uses GIS and field surveys to map rooftop potential. A strategic plan will expand clean energy adoption, reducing emissions and ensuring energy security.

Water Body Restoration

Traditional kanmais are to be restored to secure water resources, rejuvenate ecosystems, preserve heritage, and improve community resilience to drought and climate risks. The city has 42 such water bodies.

Underground Sewage System

Rajapalayam’s Underground Sewage System (UGSS) enhances sanitation by collecting and treating waste systematically, ensuring clean streets, and curbing manual scavenging.

Solid Waste Management

RCS is advancing the Rajapalayam Carbon Neutral project through expert-backed planning, climate-smart technologies, and cross-sectoral coordination.

Carbon Neutral Rajapalayam

Solid Waste Management is being strengthened through citizen participation, tackling Garbage Vulnerable Points, and running awareness and urban beautification campaigns.
