This document proposes a new waste management system for India. It begins by providing facts about India's waste generation, including that India produces 5.6 metric tons annually and Delhi generates the most at 689.5 metric tons daily. It then outlines a plan to establish a main center and network of subunits in each state to manage waste collection and disposal systematically and sustainably. Key aspects of the plan include developing financial sources, creating public awareness through volunteers and media, and encouraging research innovation in waste management. The document estimates an initial budget of 655 crores with 150 crores annually needed for implementation. It also discusses organizing teams, implementation steps, and assessing the plan's impact and challenges to ensure a successful waste management system.

the survey conducted in 2011

4. Turning visions and dreams into reality with
optimum planning.
• Develop financial sources from public and
private sector to sustain the project.
• Building a network of volunteers in
collaboration with the media team to
create awareness.
• Ensure an eco friendly approach to dealing
with waste materials in all aspects.
• Encouraging the growth of research and
innovation regarding waste management in
India.

5. Establishment of a Organised And Eco-
Friendly Waste Management System.
• Main centre to be
established which
would govern the
functioning of the sub
units and manage
financial matters.
• A network of sub units
in each state
coordinating with the
district and rural sector
of the organisation.
• Transparent and smooth functioning
of the organisation.
• Systematic and hygienic methods
employed to dispose waste.
• Promoting eco friendly ways and
building a platform for sustainable
development.
• Large impact due to widespread
public involvement promoting civic
responsibility.

• Urban societies would be encouraged for home composting systems.
• This system would ensure judicial recycling of waste and easy
disposal for the citizens below poverty line in the country.
• Generation of energy from landfill gas to energy plants would
benefit private and public sectors of India.
• It would lead to economic development of the nation in an eco
friendly manner.

9. Functioning of the project would require an initial
financial budget of 655 Crores along with 150
Crores per annum to follow.

10. Assessment of Impact and Reach for the
success of the project.
Volunteering team.
• Over 1 million volunteers from all
over the nation.
• Regular surveys determining
efficiency of the project.
Public Participation
• Involvement of people increasing
civic responsibilities towards the
nation.
• Community togetherness would
increase.
Research And Development
• Promoting research and innovation
and motivating young minds to get
involved in this field.
• Boost to national economy with the
initiation of this project.
Miscellaneous
• Tie ups with various institutions and
NGO’s, municipal corporations to
encourage the initiative.
• Seminar organisations in schools to
encourage ideas regarding this
concept.

11. Implementation of this model poses risks and challenges.
Challenges and Risks
 Initial investment is high.
 Infrastructural backdrop and land unavailability.
 Functioning inefficiency due to lack of public participation.
 Volunteering campaigns may be minimal and failure in effective
communication may result providing inaccurate information.
Mitigating Factors
 Obtaining funds from public and private sectors using PPP(Public-Private Partnership)
scheme.Investments are likely because of the benefits like socio-economic growth of the region
due to the nature of our project.
 Tie ups with NGO’s,private and public universities.
 Integration with municipal corporations hence developing the existing network too.
 Public Personalities/celebraties to advertise which would ensure greater public participation.
