10 Nov
Summary
- An NGO will be hired for two years to improve sanitation.
- The NGO will deploy a 25-member team for waste management.
- Bulk waste generators have 90 days to comply with rules.
The Greater Noida authority has announced plans to engage an NGO for a two-year period, focusing on strengthening sanitation and solid waste management in Greater Noida West. This agency will be responsible for on-the-ground monitoring, community outreach, and executing various cleanliness programs.
The selected NGO must deploy a 25-member team to oversee initiatives such as identifying waste management gaps, assessing sanitation facilities, and developing action plans. The program aims to promote waste segregation at the source, reduce single-use plastic, and discourage littering and waste burning.
Furthermore, the NGO will organize awareness campaigns, rallies, and competitions for residents and stakeholders. They will also utilize geo-tagging and GIS technology to map waste collection points and infrastructure, while monitoring door-to-door collection and the functionality of public toilets.
In parallel, bulk waste generators, defined as establishments producing over 100kg of waste daily, have been given 90 days to comply with the Solid Waste Management Rules. This includes registering on the CPCB portal within 30 days and submitting a compliance action plan within 45 days, under threat of penalties.
