BMC Approves Mayor Gen Next Civic Fellows Programme To Let Youth Monitor Potholes, Waste, Civic Services

BMC's General Body approved the 'Mayor Gen Next Civic Fellows' programme, a six-month pilot in 10 wards with 50 fellows aged 18-30.

Fellows will monitor potholes, waste management, public transport, and civic infrastructure, submitting digital reports via a mobile app.

Selected fellows receive structured training, a monthly stipend, and a certificate upon completion.

If successful, the programme will expand to 200 fellows across all Mumbai wards.

BJP Corporator Tajinder Satnam Singh Tiwana proposed the initiative to create a technology-driven, citizen-centric monitoring system.
