Waste Management in India – The Scenario
from:Introduction
In the last few decades, India has firmly established itself as one of the leading developing countries in the world. The administrative policies and procedures laid down by the authorities have always been well in line with international developments, meeting the requirements of the changing times with an effortless ease.
On similar lines, the Indian practices have also responded to the international call for establishing and implementing massive waste management strategies, thought the scale might vary at the grassroots level. However, there have been a vast number of roadblocks and problems in the implementation of effective services for waste management in India, both at the administrative and individual level.
The Progress
The biggest and most critical hurdle that obstructs the effective implementation of the desirable services for waste management in India is the lack of a proper legislative guideline. Experts point out at the lack of an Indian policy document that clearly examines waste as a par of a cycle o production-consumption-recovery.
The essentials service of waste management in India continue to be marred by the fact that in urban India, waste management is still a linear process, involving the steps of collection and disposal of waste products, leading to potential environmental and health hazards.
It is such observations that indicate toward a massive crisis in context of waste management in India, especially in urban India. Experts on the subject feel that there is a dire necessity for research and awareness on the subject. In a developing country like India, struggling hard to maximize on the potential of its existing resource bank, it is important for the manufacturers, industrialists as well as households to recognize waste products as an essential energy reserve. The concept of reuse and recycling has to be brought in at all levels if waste management in India is to be made a flourishing practice.
Besides, India also continues to suffer from the perennial problem of massive migration from rural to urban areas, bringing along with it the relevant set of problems and issues. In a country where the demand and supply ratio of resources remains quite imbalanced, the enhanced consumption of natural resources along with the lack of administrative control has an aggravating effect on the existing problem.
Waste management in India remains at quite an infancy stage right now. Though there are a few cases of the big industrial houses and administrative authorities adopting effective recycling and reuse polices, yet the impact is far from effective, especially at the grassroots levels in the country, which eventually matter the most.
