The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) will prepare a master plan for solid waste management taking into consideration the city’s present situation and the future needs. The civic body will devise a plan to meet tasks for disposal of solid waste in effective manner till 2031.
The civic body has roped in a non-profit organisation for the task. The organisation will collect all relevant data from the AMC as well as other authorities responsible for solid waste management in Ahmedabad. The plan will analyse existing situation of Solid Waste Management (SWM) performance in Ahmedabad, its issues and bottlenecks in a stepwise study of SWM chain from source to treatment/disposal.
Moreover, the organisation will conduct benchmark studies to analyse national and international best practices in SWM. It will also develop vision for SWM in city in consultation with AMC as well as an expert group comprising various governmental and non-governmental organisations, institutions, industries, SWM service providers, professionals, formal and informal groups and individuals. The organisation will also chart out broad capital investment requirements and an overall budget for implementation of the SWM master plan.
The AMC is carrying out the project under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM). “The city’s solid waste collection has reached 3400 tonne per day, so a concrete plan to meet future needs in this direction is required,” said Asit Vora, mayor of Ahmedabad. The plan is important taking into consideration rapid population growth, development, population density, quantity of waste and also characteristics of solid waste
generated in the city, he said.
AMC has roped in Urban Management Center (UMC) for this project. It will pay Rs11.75 lakh to UMC. UMC will submit a draft master plan within nine weeks of work order. It will take four more weeks for inculcating comments from the AMC on the draft report.
