2. SWATCH BHARAT MISSION (CLEAN INDIA
MISSION)
On 2nd October 2014, the birth day of father of the
nation, Mahatma Gandhi, the ‘Swatch Bharat
Mission’ (SBM) was launched by Govt. of India.
This was given the shape of mass movement with
Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi leading the
mission. The mission was split into two parts –
urban and rural. In urban areas, the focus was on
building open defecation free (ODF) towns by
constructing individual, community and public
toilets, and scientific solid waste management
3. CLEANEST CITY OF INDIA- INDORE
Indore has yet again made it as India's cleanest city
in the nationwide annual cleanliness survey. Indore
was declared India's cleanest city for the fifth time
in a row by the central government on Saturday.
4. Indore today generates over 1,115 MT of garbage a
day and all of it is collected from the source
whether it is a household or commercial
establishment. The door-to-door service was
started in January 2016 as a pilot projects in two of
the 84 wards in the city. It took almost a year to
achieve 100% door-to-door garbage collection.
Indore through its commendable collaborative
efforts has achieved segregation of waste at source
at 100% of its household’s and commercial units.
5. DOOR TO DOOR COLLECTION
Indore has been divided into 19 zones and 85
wards. Each ward has on an average 6,000
households and 600 commercial establishments
(part of 88 notified commercial areas). In Indore,
waste is generated from various sources including
households, commercial areas and other
institutions like RWAs, hospitals, hotels among
others. The households or residential complexes
are covered by the door to door collection system
while the semi bulk and bulk generators are
covered by the bulk collection system. Indore
ensures the 100% coverage of wards through its
door to door collection system.
6. IMPLEMENTATION OF D2D COLLECTION
SYSTEM
In order to implementation successful door to door collection system, an
identification study had to be carried out which helped to figure out the
amount of waste generated at each ward and the population of each
ward. On that basis, a detailed route plan was prepared to cover all
wards. Based on the route plan, a detailed vehicle and staff deployment
plan was implemented in order to meet the waste collection demand of
each ward.
7. The wet waste from the domestic generators is collected
through the Door to Door Collection System. The door to
door collection system has been deployed by IMC to
collect the waste from domestic generators and
commercial areas in Indore. The waste is collected
through partitioned vehicles known as ‘Tippers’ and
transported to the Garbage Transfer Stations for
secondary collection.
The wet waste from semi bulk generators generating 25
to 100 kg of waste is collected through the Bulk
Collection System. The bulk collection vehicles consist
of a dumper which is used to collect wet waste and a
compactor which is used to collect dry waste. These
vehicles move in pairs as per a predefined deployment
plan. These vehicles on completing their collection route
transport the waste straight to the central processing
plant.
8. The wet waste collected by the door to door collection
vehicles is transported by the tippers to one of the eight
transfer stations. At the GTS, the tippers unload the wet
waste into dedicated compactors which compress and
load the wet waste on dedicated hook loaders. The
details of all the incoming waste collection vehicles are
logged in the log books at the GTS. The bulk collection
vehicles do not travel to the GTS but straight to the
processing plant after completing their respective
collection routes.
9. GARBAGE TRANSFER STATION
The collected waste is transported by the Tri-
partioned garbage tippers deployed in all 85 wards
to the designated Garbage transfer station (GTS).
To strengthen and reduce the cost of the Secondary
Collection and Transportation System, IMC has
constructed eight ultra-modern transfer stations of
three types of models such as Ramp based static
GTS, portable Compactors based GTS and semi
portable Compactors based GTS installed by Hyva
and TPS at different locations within the city.
11. OPEN DEFECATION FREE CITY
Open defecation is due to lack of toilets and habits of
people. Besides construction of toilets education was an
important part of the mission ODF. In October 2016
NGOs were appointed by the IMC based on the strict
criteria of turnover and urban planning experience. The
main task of NGOs was to identify key ODF spots in and
around the city.
The cleaning staff identified 72 critical ODF spots in the
city. NGOs played a very significant role in terms of
identifying ODF spots and informing about them to the
authorities. The major success for ODF came through
these NGOs who did a great job in identifying critical
ODF spots and bringing out behavioral change among
general public.
15. AWARENESS CAMPAIGN
From IEC to Behavioral Change – The Secret of
Indore’s Transformation
Information, Education and Communication (IEC) is
the key to behavior change which lies at the
foundation of making a success of Swachh Bharat
Mission.
