Implementation of Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016 in all Urban Areas of Himachal Pradesh state

Project Intro:
Solid Waste Management (SWM) is one of the crucial urban basic services which influence the public health and environment of a town. Himachal Pradesh is already facing tremendous pressure due to lack of infrastructure, unfavorable climatic condition, difficult terrain, and public apathy towards waste management, tourism induced challenges further aggravate the issue. Although in the case of Shimla and Dharmshala towns, tourism has a profound impact on the economy of the town, it comes with new challenges in terms of waste generation resulting in negative impacts on the sensitive hill environment. In Himachal Pradesh, the tourism sector is the major generator of solid waste, Religious-touristic activities during the peak season. It is also finding crucial issues related to lack of capacity of the local body and the issues related to lack availability of plain land, improper location of waste collection infrastructure due to undulated terrain and inadequate collection capacity.

  • The need of the hour is to devise an efficient solid waste management system wherein decisionmakers and waste management planners can deal with the increase in complexity and uncertainty. The Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016 issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India, under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, prescribe the manner in which the Authorities have to undertake the collection, segregation, storage, transportation, processing and disposal of the solid waste generated within their jurisdiction under their respective governing legislation.
  • In this context, there is a need to revisit, develop, and implement an appropriate strategy framework to guide the urban local bodies for effectively handling Solid Waste in order to comply with the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016 notified by the Ministry of Environment &Forest, Government of India and related regulations. Himachal Pradesh has taken concrete steps in getting closer to establishing and becoming a model state in terms of environmental awareness and zero waste through its state-level policy and action plan to address the waste management issues and innovative policies like Plastic buy-back, a scheme for registration of rag-pickers & scrap dealers and drafting bylaws on SWM to the ULB’s which are further discussed in detail of this report. In spite of tremendous efforts are made from state-level the major issue identified was at the implementation on a ground level due to various reasons like lack of understanding & awareness, shortage of manpower, public participation, etc., for which Consultancy services for implementing SWM rules 2016 are selected by Directorate of Urban Development, Shimla H.P through All India Institute of Local Self-Government (AIILSG) as technical team of SWM both at state level & cluster level has been formulated to address the concerning issues of the ULBs, provide solutions and technical support for the same.
