Abstract
Centre for Social Action (CSA), Christ University, India has been implementing a community based solid waste management initiative called ‘Parivarthana Project’, with the support of Global Communities. The project was initiated to undertake decentralized solid waste management which includes collection, sorting and sale of recyclables, composting and paper recycling. This project employs women from slum communities and involves around 2200 households were serviced in Rajendra Nagar and Ambedkar Nagar. Two sorting and composting centres have been established in collaboration with BBMP. In addition, occupational health, safety & saving insights through SHGs trainings are provided to BBMP waste collectors in 5 wards. Various initiatives are undertaken to educate, orient & create awareness along with improving the socio economic conditions of pourakarmikas.
