This document summarizes a social infrastructure project on solid waste management in two villages - Ganpatpura and Usmanabaad. It provides demographic information on the villages, including population sizes and household numbers. It describes the types of garbage in the villages, how garbage is currently collected and stored, and where it is disposed. The main issues identified are a lack of garbage collection services and community bins, resulting in open dumping of garbage and associated smell and mosquito problems. Villagers currently burn, use as fertilizer, or just leave garbage unattended. The students found the project experience valuable for both their technical studies and for helping the community.
