The flagship Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) 2.0, with its heavy focus on solid waste management, is being seen as a potential game-changer for India. The key mission agenda talks about making India “garbage-free”, with components like remediation of legacy waste, and building infrastructure for treatment, processing, recovery, and recycling of municipal solid waste to divert 80 per cent of it from reaching the landfill by 2026. With committed financial devolution of Rs 1.4 lakh crore for the second phase of the Mission, it also brings in an element of “performance-linked disbursal” as an innovative financing instrument to help achieve the mission objectives.

Local governments in India have been given a clear mandate with substantial financial devolution. But achieving the milestones under SBM 2.0 would call for careful assessment of the current situation, efficient planning and implementation of activities aligned with the Mission objectives, and most importantly, a very capable institution on the top to drive the mammoth agenda forward. The magnitude of the Mission creates space for private companies, research institutions, academia, civil society organisations, consultancy firms, startups and others to create an ecosystem to turn waste management services into business models for economic and environmental sustainability, which would be critical to the envisioned success of the Mission.

Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) is offering a tailor made fourdays residential training programme for stakeholders and solid waste management practitioners. The high impact training is designed to provide an end-to-end solution to design and implement a robust system of managing solid waste aligned with the principle of circular economy.
