Haritha Karmasena is a venture working in the field of sanitation and waste management in local self-government bodies in Kerala. In 2017, as part of the Harithakeralam Mission Project implemented by the Government of Kerala, the formation of Harita Karmasena was held in local self-government bodies. Door-step collection of cleaned non-organic waste and in some cases organic waste,by haritha karma sena members, is carried out from households and institutions by collecting the user fee fixed by the Local Self-Government bodies based on the Government Order. The inorganic waste collected at regular intervals is delivered to the material collection facility. From here, the waste is sorted and sent to the resource recovery facility. They are then handed over for reuse or recycling.

As part of these activities  the haritha karmasena is providing clean up means and solutions for organic waste management at homes. Haritha Keralam Mission, Kudumbashree, Shuchithwa Mission, Clean Kerala Company and Local Self-Government are all partners in this mega project. Tons of waste is being disposed of in the state through the Haritakarmasena system. Haritha karmasena is trying to become self-sufficient by creating new products from waste materials, promoting recycling and starting innovative green initiatives. More than 3,6000 haritha karma sena workers are currently working in all the local bodies of the state. The basic facilities, vehicles, uniforms, identity cards etc. required by them are provided under the leadership of the local self-government bodies.
