significant concern worldwide. Mishandling of generated waste has caused severe health concerns for residents and disturbs the urban environment. Most Indian cities lack proper management of solid waste and rapid urbanization has pressurized the existing infrastructure. Gwalior City of Madhya Pradesh state has been taken as a case study for this research. The city was selected under the smart city project of the MOHUA, Government of India in 2016 and the waste management of the city is being done under the aegis of the Swachh Bharat Mission. Still, numerous parameters have led to the inadequacy of infrastructure and waste management. The study has looked at the obstacles and prospects of waste management by conducting a detailed study on a selected ward of Gwalior city where maximum challenges have been identified. The study involves a literature review of the waste management cycle and best practices. The government intervention done so far in this domain has been discussed. The site visits have been conducted and interaction with various stakeholders has been taken into consideration. Both primary and secondary data have been collected. A sample size of 120 households have been collected from the residents of the selected ward for having in-depth understanding. The analysis of primary data highlights the demand and supply gap along with the public perception and awareness of the city’s waste management system. Public involvement at different stages of waste management for better infrastructure efficiency has been proposed with some recommendations.
Over the past few years, our nation’s stable waste manufacturing from domestic and commercial spaces has expanded appreciably because of the country's speedy populace increase and the ongoing pursuit of economic development. Per capita waste generation varies between 0.2 Kg to 0.6 Kg per day in cities with population ranging from 1.0 lakh to 50 lakh. With a speedy population increase and urbanization, annual waste generation is expected to increase by 73% from 2020 levels to 3.88 billion tonnes in 2050.[4]
1.2 Concerns Compared to those in developed nations, residents in developing countries, especially the urban poor are more severely impacted by unsustainably managed waste in lowincome countries. Over 90% of this waste is often disposed of in unregulated dumps or openly burned. These practices create serious health, safety, and environmental consequences. Poorly managed waste serves as a breeding ground for disease vectors contributing to international climate change through methane generation and can even promote urban violence.
2. METHODOLOGY: To establish the method of data collection we looked for an area facing waste segregation and disposal problems created due to haphazard and unplanned urbanisation. For the collection data a set of questionnaires was created for the residents, commercial enterprises, community members and all the other various stakeholders involved as they are the one primarily facing the problem of waste and its harmful effects.
Key Words: Integrated solid waste Management (ISWM), Private Public Partnerships (PPP), Municipal Solid Waste Management (SWM), Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s)
1.INTRODUCTION
Simultaneously to lend a practical dimension to our methodological exploration, we drew insights from noteworthy case studies in India, specifically those of Agra & Bhopal . These empirical illustrations not only enriched our understanding but also engendered a nuanced comprehension of the manifold solutions employed to address the complex issue of solid waste management.
As cited by the National Green Tribunal (in the matter of Compliance of Municipal Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016) the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) remains one of the most serious challenges for environment protection. Deficiencies in proper management of solid waste have resulted in outbreak of serious diseases in the past and have such potential in future.
Following that, the purpose of Aims, objectives, scope, and constraints were articulated, carefully defining the
