Need
The Covid-19 pandemic put several things on hold for nearly two years.
Many Gram Panchayats that initiated solid waste management (SWM) activities had to end up collecting only discarded face masks, and managing waste from healthcare facilities, and from quarantine locations. Now that the pandemic curve is fortunately normalizing in most parts of the country, it’s time we reinitiate the setback that the Gram Panchayats have suffered in putting in place systems for scientific collection & management of solid waste from rural areas.
The Ministry of Jal Sakthi Ministry is fully geared towards it, and has started rolling out plans to achieve this goal. Concurrently and with the view to back up this effort, the XV Finance Commission funds for the Rural Local Bodies has underlined the importance of focusing on water and sanitation related issues in rural areas by making 60% of the XV FC grants tied towards ‘rural water supply and sanitation’. Possibly, many GPs have included SWM and wastewater management related components in their Gram Panchayat Development Plans (GPDPs). It’s time they need guidance and training on how to set up such units and how to operate and maintain one at GP level.
