Abstract

Population growth, increasing urbanization and industrialisation and rising standards of living have all contributed to an increase in both the amount and variety of waste generated in most countries. Waste is a continually growing problem at global and regional as well as at local levels. A large number of India people are very unaware about the concept of waste management. They are used to throw the solid wastes in ponds, drains, fields, beside the road which not only make our country dirty but also it creates soil, water and visible pollution. Recently our Central Government has been taken a national level campaign which is named “Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan” covering 4041 statutory towns to clean streets, roads and infrastructure of the country. The cleaning programme aims to fulfill in objectives by 2nd October, 2019, 150th birthday of Mahatma Gandhi. But in India many local bodies, institutes take some positive initiative for solid waste management. The present study has been special focus on their initiatives. They are as follows: ?Barrackpore Municipality, North 24 Parganas, West Bengal ?Nokari Panchayat , under Ranaghat II subdivision,Nadia, West Bengal ?Rudrapur Paper mill, Icchapur-Nilganj Panchayat under Barasat I block, North 24 Parganas , West Bengal ?Vivekananda Institute of Bio-Technology, South 24 Parganas, West Bengal
