NOT IN MY BACKYARD: Solid Waste Management in Indian Cities
Book Release and workshop: Patna, Bihar
Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), New Delhi is conducting a half day programme in Patna, Bihar on Solid Waste Management on 14th December, 2016 to release its report ‘Not in My Backyard: Solid Waste Management in Indian Cities’ and discuss the agenda for a clean Bihar.
We have been to some of the cleanest cities across the country and have rated them. The system for rating cities was to determine who is the cleanest of them all in terms of solid waste management. It is clear that cities that are segregating their waste have been able to effectively process and treat it and have achieved the status of zero landfill cities. While, some cities are doing - part segregation and part treatment. And then, there are a few cities, that are visibly clean but dumping their waste. We have incorporated all our findings in our book: ‘Not in My Backyard’.
The objective of this programme is to discuss the roadmap for a Swachh Bihar. It is clear that waste management needs to be reinvented in our cities. In light of the new Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016, segregation at source is imperative and the shift needs to be towards treatment and processsing. The meeting shall discuss the existing situation of state in terms of solid waste management, the new rules and some of the best practices across the country on solid waste management.
The programme is ideal for regulators, practitioners, consultants, academicians and NGOs working in solid waste management.
Date: December 14, 2016
Timing: 9.30 AM-2.30 PM
Venue: Auditorium, AN Sinha Institute of Social Studies, Patna, Bihar
Limited seats, for registration kindly write to Dr.Sonia Henam at sonia.henam@cseindia.org, +91-9871960493

दोस्तों,
रोज मर्रा की जिंदगी में हम प्लास्टिक और प्लास्टिक से बनी कई चीजो का इस्तेमाल करते है, प्लास्टिक को तो हमने जरुरत बना लिया है।
हम में से कईयो को इसके हानिकारक प्रभाव पता है फिर भी हम आम तौर पर इसका इस्तेमाल करते है। यह प्लास्टिक पर्यावरण के लिए हानिकारक है ये सब जानते है, लेकिन क्या आपको पता है की प्लास्टिक थैली, प्लास्टिक की पानी की बोतल के अलावा भी कई ऐसे उत्पाद है जो प्लास्टिक से बनते है।
जिनके घरो में छोटे बच्चे है (लगभग ३-५ साल के ) उनके यहाँ आम तौर पे फीडिंग बोतल (दूध पिलाने की बोतल) और सिपर (पानी पिलाने की बोतल) पाया जा सकता है।
In this issue Ambient Science have not only included the articles based on our ancient knowledge like “Traditionally used Medicinal Plants in the Treatment of Kidney Stone” but have shed light on some modern scientific aspects of science also viz., “Cloud Computing: Goals, Issues, SOA, Integrated Technologies and Future-scope” and “Best, Useful and Objective Precisions for Information Retrieval of Three Search Methods in PubMed and iPubMed”.
But its not just Ideas which bind us together. A common fact binds us all since the very begining. Not only humans, but even beings who don't communicate with us. The Friendly ones and also the beasts. That Eternal fact which we celebrate daily knowingly or unknowingly! The Fact that we are on the Planet which supports us for Life, and an environment which allows us to be alive to the fullest of human capabilities. That's something to be thankful of! That's the religion we celebrate even by just waking up to life and by evolving generation by generation, race by race. That's a religion we are passively part of.
We do it on our daily basis. From spitting on the streets to throwing a wrapper on the bench, we all contribute very minorly to this harm which multiplied by each individuals of earth makes it a huge mess for the whole Eco system to process. The supporter of our lives is now no more able to support us, making survival more and more difficult for the coming generations. Just by being a mere spectator to this change makes us equal criminals. Our homes are spic and span with no piece of dust on top of our expensive gadgets, but we forget to search for the garbage bin when we come outside of the house, not realizing that the asset of the Clean and Green Earth is Priceless and the consequences are much more expensive for the whole planet.
The Planet can be saved, the religion of environment can be protected. All we need is a Start. A Start from our mentality. The realization that solutions exist to the waste problem and we can solve it by just being creative is a good First step. Small steps like kitchen gardening , waste segregation, conserving water, planting trees and so on take us a long way. Understanding that the waste to someone can be a treasure to another being of the ecosystem can reduce the problem of Solid Waste to a great level.
Above all, the understanding that one is Important and make up the entity of the Eco System is the most important belief needed in the present day scenario. The want to change and save nature will find its way in making a better environment and shall make the day after tomorrow worth living.

Hello friends, we are now working more on using CSR as tool for managing our waste. We have done a innovative decentralized waste management project which also gives incentives.
Please look into the link...I hope this is the only solution to make our surroundings clean and most important in controlled expense
We have done this low cost project in Banswara Syntex limited which was super success and now we are doing the projects in Banswara town as CSR activity. The low cost project processed almost 1000 kg of waste/day without any big machinery. This can be best method if to be done in colony, villages etc.
Looking forward for your comments
