Cummins employees launched an ambitious program to eliminate all waste in a Pune, India neighborhood. In doing so, they transformed the lives of marginalized persons, known as "rag pickers" through a new economic model. The pilot serves as a model for the rest of Pune and, indeed, all of India.  The project was in partnership with Janwani, a social initiative of the Mahratta Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Agriculture (MCCIA).
