In the context of urban sanitation discussed at the Clean Delhi workshop, what does the abbreviation GVP stand for?
- A.Garbage Vulnerable Points
- B.Green Verification Protocol
- C.Gross Vehicle Parking
- D.Garbage Volume Projection
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Garbage Vulnerable Points. These are the spots in a city where waste keeps accumulating however often it is cleared, and tackling such recurring points was one of the ten critical questions the workshop was built around, along with measures to stop littering and to keep waste out of water bodies. Options B, C and D are invented expansions and have no place in sanitation practice. The term matters for exam purposes because it appears regularly in urban sanitation assessments: identifying and then eliminating these points is a standard measure of a city's cleanliness performance. The other questions taken up at the workshop included the move towards a bin-less city through more efficient and frequent door-to-door waste collection, keeping public toilets clean, safe and functional, and improving citizen grievance redressal.
