Hand in Hand India

Our well-wisher Shri.Asit Nema from Delhi Wrote in his latest blog – “The MSW Rules 2016 and the GoI policy consider ‘Reduce’ (Reducing consumption – one among the 3Rs) as one of the main pillars of solid waste management strategy ! However, other sections of the same establishment want ‘growth’/ ‘development’ and ‘urbanisation’ at a rapid pace. When we are aspiring for sustained double digit GDP growth through internal consumption, then how this ‘Reduce’ thing will happen? As per the recent article in The Guardian, across the globe solid waste quantities are projected to double from 3 million tons/day to over 6 million tons/day and most of this is going to take place in East and South Asia. When we are going to lead the race in waste generation in the world (never mind losing the races in the Olympics) (!), then like an ostrich why are our policy makers burying their heads in the sand”?
