India Seeks Solution to Manage Escalating Waste Crisis

India, grappling with a formidable waste challenge, is seeking solutions to manage
its rapidly mounting waste predicament. The country, home to the world’s largest
population, is confronted with an escalating waste crisis exacerbated by
urbanisation, economic expansion and changing consumption patterns.
Historical factors have played a role in shaping India’s waste management
landscape. Regions in North and East India witnessed significant waves of
refugees during the Partition in 1947 and the Indo-Pak War in 1971. In the rush to
accommodate them, land was allocated hastily without the provision of adequate
infrastructure.

Until recently, a rudimentary system prevailed in these regions, with garbage
collection relying on manually operated carts or bicycles making rounds to collect
waste from homes and streets. However, the escalating waste crisis demands a
more organised and sustainable approach.

India is exploring innovative technologies for efficient waste management.
Municipalities are adopting improved waste collection systems, including the
introduction of mechanised waste disposal mechanisms.

India’s journey to tackle its urban waste challenge is marked by a commitment to
finding sustainable solutions that align with its rapid development. As the country
continues to grow, managing waste effectively becomes an imperative not only for
environmental sustainability but also for the wellbeing of its people and
preservation of urban spaces.
