Abstract
Managing solid waste is one of biggest challenges of the urban areas, ranging from mega-cities to towns and villages. Managing this solid waste is the most challenging problems for every city managers and authorities. The quality of waste management services is a good indicator of a city’s governance, if a city is dirty, the local administration may be considered ineffective or its residents may be accused of littering it. The authorities spend a substantial proportion of their available recurrent budget on managing this solid waste from all the units that is from collection transferring and then treating it as all this put lot of human resource as well as lot of cash flow into it. This particular paper aims to capture waste management trends and draws attention to the importance of waste management, especially regarding its role at an individual level that is at a unit level then at a cluster level then at a neighborhood level and lastly at a city level for leading Clean India. Waste should be handled from a unit that is its segregation and its composting should a mandatory clause for all the citizens. To fulfil this, it is determined the target an individual awareness with training campaigns, penalty etc. So this paper has selected examples of national and international case studies to showcase the good work that is being done on solid waste management by cities around the world, large and smaller, rich and poorer. Under the mission of our honorable prime minister of “Swaach Bharat Abhyan” which has been initiated to be completed by 2nd October 2017 each and every house hold unit should have a moral responsibility about house hold waste management. This mission can be fulfilled only by looking at changes and innovativeness in solid waste management, it would a better to find local solutions rather than global solution which has a famous proverb “think locally act globally”. Hence the problem sparked at a unit level can make a vast difference at a global situation. The paper also helps decision-makers, Practitioners and ordinary citizens to understand how a solid waste management system works and to inspire each and every people for treating waste as a resource than a layer of debris and debris and debris.
