Mysore, officially Mysuru, a major cultural and tourist center in Karnataka, participated in the GEF-6 SCIAP to strengthen waste management and sustainability planning.

This web-based system was designed to support sustainable city strategy implementation and long-term data management for planning. By combining strong civic participation with innovative tools for service delivery, Mysore demonstrated how mid-sized heritage cities can advance integrated waste management, mobility, and resilience while maintaining environmental quality.
